Hi,

A few comments/questions.
Why is the standard target DROP?
Please provide a man file entry (ebtables.8)
You didn't provide the configuration option for the kernel
Please provide the patches as attachments (separate files for kernel and 
userspace) that will patch correctly with 'patch -p1 < $file'
After a first glance the code looks ok.
Maybe the description of your target should be more general: it matches 
the ARP source address to the IP source address based on the local arp 
table. Your target is indeed useful to make a bridging firewall that 
does IP NAT more transparent.

cheers,
Bart
