Hello,

They were left intentionally so that people could re-enable the ALGs if there was not other solution available.

Since the migration seemed to have worked well, I would suggest that we merge this and drop the kernel modules with the next kernel update.

Hello Matthias,

thank you for this patch - removing the remains of ALGs has been on my to-do list as well... :-)

I agree with the changes you propose to the firewall initscript. However, there are still some ALG-related configuration files left, and we continue to ship the corresponding kernel modules.

Which are those?

While the latter might be worth a separate patch as soon as Linux 5.10 landed in IPFire 2.x, cleaning up the rest of ALG bits and pieces as much as we can makes sense to me.

Thanks, and best regards, Peter Müller

In https://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire-2.x.git;a=commit;h=ffafaa71a6970a8c3d094224... all ALGs were removed from UI.

But they remained - somehow - in the initscript (firewall).

I tried to remove the remnants - hopefully in the correct way.
