One is that people sometimes try to run an O32 iptables/ebtables. IIRC, alignof(long) is different between O32 and N32. ip/ebtables kernel modules are capable of recognizing at most two formats, which on a MIPS64 kernel are N32 and N64. The second issue is that some extensions only know _one_ format, and that one format happens to use sizeof(long), which is different between N32 and N64, causing problems. This is what I suppose might be occurring on your system -- ebtables has not received as much ABI strengthening as iptables did. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
