Subject: Cannot use iptables with kernel 2.6.30
Date: Thu, 22 Apr 2010 16:28:12 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <g2g21df6cb71004220358y9a5f23f1w1b7795a90fae82e2@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi List,

I am trying to install iptables on ARM platform running linux kernel
2.6.30. I have enabled all the netfilter modules as enabled in the
kernel.

When statically building iptables-1.4.7, I get the following error:
# iptables
getsockopt failed strangely

When I build it dynamically, I am able to run iptables:
# iptables -h
(displays help)

However, When I try to apply any rules, It says:
# iptables -F
Can't initialize table filter.
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be updated.

This is strange because I have enabled all the netfilter options in my kernel.

I also tried using iptables-1.4.4 and iptables-1.3.8 but am not able
to run iptables.

Searching a little more, It seems to be the bug reported here :

https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/bugme-new/2009-April/021618.html

However this patch that claims to solve this is already applied in my
kernel and I still get the same error:

Best Regards,
Elison
