Well, I don't know anything about gen2 but it sounds as if the kernel was compiled w/o the ip_tables module. I don't know exactly where that is in the kernel config but I would imagine that like any other module, you can compile it into the kernel, compile it as a module, or not compile it at all. You'd have to check your kernel config. But you should be able to say 'modinfo ip_tables' and get info about the module if it has been built. If modinfo prints a notice that there is no such module, you're going to have to recompile your kernel or download a new pre-compiled one. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jude DaShiell" <jdashiel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Friday, November 17, 2006 5:09 AM Subject: gentoo iptables problem > running iptables -F in gentoo or any other command so far as I can tell > other than the help command produces a fatal error claiming the package > can't find module ip_tables and for that reason iptables can't initialize. > I got this using using emerge iptables so can't yet figure what's going on > and why. > > > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup > >
