- The Frame Diverter allows you to divert packets from the

From my understanding of iptables/ebtables, identical functionality
is already avaialble within that framework; and as such this patch is
just removing broken experimental and redundant code. The IPTables
code also properly handles IPv6 and all the other old warts of the
frame diverter as well. I agree that this should go.
