no need to compile kernel for iptables

TCP-IP 24 Sep 2013 07:37

the problem was this:

# modprobe ip_tables
FATAL: Error inserting iptables (/lib/modules/2.6.32.11-svn52288/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.ko): Invalid module format

it happened because you skipped steps during module compilation instead of make modules and make modules_install you should have do:

make prepare
make scripts
make
make modules_prepare
make modules
make modules_install
depmod -a

and then the iptables module loads fine and iptables works fine, while minimizing the risk of bricking your nas

i tested just the filter table on mybook live 02.42.03-027 and it works without errors.

.config

Hi, could you upload your copy of .config file? When I execute make menuconfig, everything is empty (no selected options). I would like to compile new kernel witch iptables support but when I selected options, I think proper - My Book Live won't boot up.

This is odd.

Have you double checked the whole step by step guide?

Anyways, I have uploaded my .config.

Hope that helps,

Yes I checked. I want to compare both configurations.

Thank for your help.
