Re: netfilter unavailable

Hello,

After looking in the .config the line 
CONFIG_NETFILTER_XTABLES=y
seems to be OK. 
I am looking in the iptables code and I think that it is a problem
with the iptables code (userinterface) and is m68k specific. The same
code runs on i386 without any problem.

Regards

JP Pozzi
