Ah ok. Which patch should I use
(http://bridge.sourceforge.net/devel/bridge-nf/bridge-nf-0.0.7-against-2.4.19.diff
or
http://users.pandora.be/bart.de.schuymer/ebtables/br-nf/bridge-nf-0.0.10-against-2.4.20.diff)

I've used the latter with 2.4.21pre5, but it seems as if the first one was
created for iptables and the latter for ebtables - is that correct or can I
use both?

I'll test it now with the new one anyway and see if I can match packets in
the mangle table.
