The content of this topic has been archived on 30 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

when i use ebtables -L i get the followng error The kernel doesn't support the ebtables 'filter' table.

I have allready installed ebtables and Kmod-ebtables

What i doing wrong ?

I miss some kernel module ?

You need to load some kernel modules required by ebtables.

1.  use lsmod to show loaded kernel modules
2.  execute the following command  to show all available ebtables related modules:
  ls -1 /lib/modules/2.4.30 | grep ebt | cut -d"." -f1 | sort -r

3. load required modules with insmod
4.edit /etc/modules.d/60-ebtables  in order to load modules at startup (ebtables must be the first)

but i means if i install ebtables with ipkg install  ... ebtables not automatic install the kernel module ?

The discussion might have continued from here.
