Hi Andrew & Alan, I noticed that in 2.4.2ac20, all netfilter logs come to the console, whatever the log levels, and the beginning of the line is always prepended with '<4>'. I found in printk.c that a test is done for the length of the message to be strictly larger than 3 chars. But ipt_LOG uses 2 consecutive printk, one with only '<4>' and one with the message. It may be possible that other drivers to the same. Looking back in patches show this is present since 2.4.2ac13. This trivial patch allows a 3-char message to set the message level.
