Thanks a lot for pointing this. I stupidely forgot to build this module
during my testing.

I've made the necessary modifications and a patch fixing this will
follow this mail.

Doing some testing of the ebt_ulog module, I've found some problems. One
of them was the following messages:

sys_init_module: 'ebt_ulog'->init suspiciously returned 1, it should
follow 0/-E convention
sys_init_module: loading module anyway...
Pid: 2334, comm: modprobe Not tainted 2.6.29-rc5edenwall0-00883-g199e57b
#146
Call Trace:
 [<c0441b81>] ? printk+0xf/0x16
 [<c02311af>] sys_init_module+0x107/0x186
 [<c0202cfa>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb

A patch fixing this will also follow.

BR,
