Hi,
Iam using 2.6.29.2 kernel and I dont understand why is
BRIDGE_NF_EBTABLES dependent on BRIDGE_NETFILTER in
net/bridge/netfilter/Kconfig ? I can remove the dependency and
successfully compile the kernel with BRIDGE_NF_EBTABLES on and
BRIDGE_NETFILTER off.
Does net/bridge/netfilter/Kconfig need an update or iam missing
something obvious?
Thanks
-Sachin

But what are you going to do with ebtables.ko if there is no one
to make function calls into it?

NF_HOOK is called from two places one from the code thats enabled
because of BRIDGE_NETFILTER i.e net/bridge/br_netfilter.c
and other from the bridge code itself i.e net/bridge/br_forward.c
net/bridge/br_input.c etc
so that should not be a problem.
