+Subject: [PATCH] configure: support ipset version 7 with kernel version 5
+
+The configure script checks for ipset v6 availability but doesn't test
+for v7, which is backward compatible and used on kernel v5.x systems.
+Update the script to test for both ipset versions. Without this change,
+the tc ematch function em_ipset will be disabled.
