2.6.16 and iptables changes



Hi list,

In 2.6.16 iptables was rearranged in the kernel Kconfig.
So if you roll your own kernel you cannot just copy over the .config from 2.6.15 and get iptables support:

network packet filtering -> core netfilter configuration -> netfilter netlink interface
core netfilter configuration -> netfilter xtables support
core netfilter configuration -> limit match support
core netfilter configuration -> state match support
network packet filtering -> IP Netfilter configuration -> etc...

So if you just copied over the .config from 2.6.15-<x> then no iptables support is included because it's in a different place now. I did not find a good description of the changes, but after making these changes FireHol liked the world again... :-)

Regards,

H
