Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
My machine is a ARM machine with debian 4.0.
I also have already tried 1.3.8 and got the same error.
Which kernel version (please also send .config)? Did you compile
iptables yourself or used a version from Debian?
This looks more like an userspace issue. The strace log shows that the
netlink socket was obtained, but calls setsockopt with fd=-1.
Just a guess, though.
Right, I missed that, thanks. Jesper seems to be correct, if autoloading
fails we close the socket and decrement sockfd_use twice, which causes
iptables to not open it again for the second attempt.
Salatiel, does this patch fix the problem?
