ok i see.

and why i have this output?
DEBUG: the tablename (not FILTER) is: �%H �

I want block my target if the table name is NOT filter...so i write:

[CODE]
...
 if (strcmp(tablename, "filter"))   {
   printk(KERN_INFO "DEBUG: the tablename (not FILTER) is %s\n",tablename);
   return ERROR_VALUE; // < 0
 }
[/CODE]

but in the tablename variable i haven't the table's right value (but i
have: �%H � a wrong value)...what's the problem?
