Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2009 12:34:30 -0400 Message-ID: <005401ca19d8$71cc86a0$556593e0$@com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: Content-Language: en-us Sender: netfilter-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: netfilter@vger.kernel.org Hello -- I used to run iptables 1.3.8 on an older kernel with most of the iptables/netfilter extensions build as modules. I never had any problem with auto-loading of those modules when iptables needed them for a rule -- for example protocol match, state match, iprange match, etc. Recently, I moved to iptables 1.4.0 on a 2.6.25.5 kernel and although all the modules are built correctly and iptables works correctly, kernel modules are no longer loaded dynamically. I have to load them manually using insmod or modprobe depending on the rule I am writing after which everything works fine -- but of course this defies the purpose of having them as modules in the first place. I searched the list and the Internet and did not come across any posting on this issue so it is very likely that I am doing something wrong and hence would appreciate the help of the list. Could you tell me where I might have a problem? I have the kernel modules under /lib/modules/2.6.25.5/kernel/net/netfilter for all x_tables support and under /lib/modules/2.6.25.5/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter for the rest of the modules. I am having difficulty dynamically loading modules from either location. BTW, I have the same problem running kernel 2.6.23.1. Thanks in advance, Gun Akkor
