Emerging firewalld complains about NF_CT_NETLINK_HELPER

[lotss]

Hi there,

I'm using gentoo-kernel-bin. Every time I emerge net-firewall/firewalld I get a message about NF_CT_NETLINK_HELPER not being set and it potentially leading to unexpected operation of the package. Is there anything I can do about it meanwhile staying on the binary kernel?

firewall-cmd --state shows that the firewall is active.

Thanks in advance.
