  [ Test case ]

  Install the latest linux-6.11 kernel on Noble:

  $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:canonical-kernel-team/ppa
  $ sudo apt update
  $ sudo apt install linux-image-6.11.0-12-generic \
                     linux-modules-6.11.0-12-generic \
                     linux-modules-extra-6.11.0-12-generic \
                     linux-headers-6.11.0-12-generic

  Install iptables-netflow-dkms:

  $ sudo apt install iptables-netflow-dkms

  Load the module:

  $ sudo modprobe ipt_NETFLOW

  [ Fix ]

  Patch the code to properly support the new linux 6.11 ABI.

  [ Regression potential]

  We may experience networking-related regressions in systems that are
  using the iptables-netflow-dkms module and that are using a kernel >=
  6.11.
