That's just a warning. It means the Netfilter ct_ras helper module tried to process a packet thinking it was destined to him, only to find out it wasn't.

In newer versions of the kernel they simply removed that warning as it was scaring people, you can just ignore it.

Hi,

Yesterday evening I go three of this messages:

Feb 11 23:45:20 kernel: nf_ct_ras: decoding error: out of range
Feb 11 23:45:37 kernel: nf_ct_ras: decoding error: out of range
Feb 11 23:45:55 kernel: nf_ct_ras: decoding error: out of range

Running the current Beta 4, it means that the warning/information message is still (or again) there...

With kind regards
Joe

The error message was never removed. By newer kernel, I mean newer than what Asuswrt uses (2.6.22.19).
