ip6tables on sparc32: filter Table does not exist

[Peter Keel <seegras@discordia.ch>]

Hello 

I finally managed to compile 2.4.20 on my SS10. Since I recently got 
2001:8A8:30:30::/60  I now definitely want to do ipv6. It works, BUT: 

josephine:~# ip6tables -L 
ip6tables v1.2.6a: can't initialize ip6tables table `filter': Table 
does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

This happens with the stock kernel, but also with the usagi-patch.
So there's definitly something amess with the kernel itself. 

I did a quick google, and found further reference to the problem, 
but no solution. As it appears, the HPPA-architecture has the same
problem, and sparc64 as well (CC to Aaron Sethman which reported 
it for Sparc64). 

Now the question: Does anyone know of a solution, some super-secret
magic patch, or at least, does anyone know who I should bugger? ;)=

Cheers
Peter
