Okay - I obviously don't know enough about what ebtables does.   I thought it
was the equivalent of iptables but down at the ethernet layer.   It obviously
has some capabilities at the higher networking layers as well, so there's a
bigger overlap between ebtables and iptables than I had thought.

Maybe some ebtables expert out there can help with this ?
