The IP mode patch is a special case that does a strict subset of what ebtables does.
If you want just "brouting" (that is, packets come in through the bridge, then are routed via your firewall and ip routing rules), then you don't need the extra power (and complexity) of ebtables, and you can install just the ipmode patches. If you want/need ebtables, then you don't need the ipmode patch. Instead you need to (as I understand it---I have not actually done this yet) take the "brouter" example from http://users.pandora.be/bart.de.schuymer/ebtables/examples.html and season it to taste. -david On Tue, 2003-02-25 at 23:24, William Olbrys wrote: > How can I apply the IP Mode patch to the 2.4.20 kernel without gettnig > any errors?
