Cannot get shorewall to work

[scumsurfer]

Hi,

I'm really battling to get Shorewall to work. I know the problem is not with shorewall itself but rather with the kernel/iptables. The error that I get is the following:

ERROR: Traffic Shaping requires mangle support in your kernel and iptables
/sbin/shorewall: line 529: 5390 Terminated $SHOREWALL_SHELL ${SHAREDIR}/compiler $debugging $nolock compile ${VARDIR}/.start

I did add mangle support together with iptables into the kernel (directly, not as modules)

grep -i mangle /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_IP_NF_MANGLE=y
CONFIG_IP_NF_ARP_MANGLE=y
CONFIG_IP6_NF_MANGLE=y

After adding mangle support, I emerged shorewall, iproute2 and iptables. After configuring shorewall and then starting it the error as above appears. Seeing that mangle support is added to the kernel I think the problem lies with iptables because

iptables -t mangle -L
iptables v1.3.5: can't initialize iptables table `mangle': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

Otherwise I'm missing something. Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks

Carl Werner

Can you access the other standard table listings? The only other things that come to mind are that you need to reboot, the net-firewall/iptables package is screwed up, or the error message is right: you need to upgrade net-firewall/iptables.
