Hi all, Can anybody tell me, why iptable tries to load ip_tables even though it is compilled and built statically into the kernel. I prefer not to build as modules to have very small size root filesystem on my flash memory and therefore, I built everything into kernel. On perofrming the following rule setup, it throws modprobe error. cm-debian:~# iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o br_wan -j MASQUERADE modprobe: module ip_tables not found. modprobe: failed to load module ip_tables modprobe: module ip_tables not found. modprobe: failed to load module ip_tables modprobe: module ip_tables not found. modprobe: failed to load module ip_tables modprobe: module ip_tables not found. modprobe: failed to load module ip_tables All the supporting netfitler tables are built directly into the kernel. The mailing list discussion says no need to perform modprobe ip_tables, modprobe iptable_nat, modprobe ipt_MASQUERADE etc., if it is built into kernel. But, still I face the modprobe problem. can anybody precise why I keep getting this error?. thanks Sara - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
