'ebtables' is just a round-all term for what became of the 'bridge firewalling' code. You don't need to use the 'ebtables' binary at all if all you want to do is apply firewall rules on a bridged system. However, it remains to be seen whether the ebtables code would even patch successfully on an RHEL kernel source, plus if using a 'Real' Red Hat kernel is important to you, then you'll obviously not want to recompile at all. Unless RHEL already contains the support (look for 'Bridge firewalling registered' in the 'dmesg' output from boot time) then you're a bit stuck. Of course, all this talk of ebtables is now off topic =) Cheers, Gavin.
