== CORE kernel patch ==
Even with the latest Linux kernels, not all networking features may be ready for use with network namespaces. Some kernel patches are available from the CORE team, check a source tarball under the `kernels/` directory.
For example, CORE 4.2 includes a 2.6.38 kernel patch that addresses the following:
* virtualize the netfilter queue mechanism (allows iptables NFQUEUE targets)
* disable the flow cache (allows using IPsec between namespaces)
* virtualize network interface index numbers
See the `README.txt` file that comes with the kernel patches. A `Makefile` may be included for easily building a deb kernel package.
== Running a custom kernel PPA on Ubuntu ==
PPA = Personal Package Archive, an unsupported/bleeding-edge repository of deb packages.
