MAC Filtering

[Gopal Chandavarapu <Gopal.Chandavarapu@rtc.bosch.com>]

Hi All,

A specific hardware and its cross compiler need 2.4.14 version of the 
linux kernel. I have to do MAC filtering for these devices, so I found that

http://ebtables.sourceforge.net/documentation.html#whatdo

  does MAC filtering. -----------   Good till now.



Problem : The problem is ebtables works only with linux kernel 2.4.22/23 
and version 2.6.x

Question 1: Is there any other module like ebtables which does MAC 
filtering and works with 2.4.14 kernel.


Question 2: The MAC filter module should be capable of filtering the 
packets at run time.
That means that the filter should be able to ACCEPT all packets from MAC 
address A for some time and upon users request at run time, it should be 
able to take a new MAC address B and ACCEPT only from B and DROP/ACCEPT 
packets from A.

Please let me know.

Thanks
Gopal.
