Hi Pablo,

Did you follow the email thread
https://www.spinics.net/lists/netfilter/msg60278.html?

In summary, OP asked:
> Good morning! I am using the nf-queue.c example from
> libnetfilter_queue repo. In the queue_cb() function, I am trying to
> get the conntrack info but this condition is always false.

and Florian replied:

My question is, where should all this have been documented?

`man nfq_set_queue_flags` documents NFQA_CFG_F_CONNTRACK, but
nfq_set_queue_flags() is deprecated and OP was not using it.

The modern approach is to code
> mnl_attr_put_u32(nlh, NFQA_CFG_MASK, htonl(NFQA_CFG_F_GSO));

NFQA_CFG_MASK is supplied by a libnetfilter_queue header, while
mnl_attr_put_u32() is a libmnl function. What to do?

Cheers ... Duncan.
