Hi guys,

I emerged Shorewall but everytime I try to start it, modprobe complains that can't locate module ip_tables. I searched all over the kernel config and I can't find any ip_tables module. Maybe is some alias that I'm missing in/etc/ modules.conf.
Please help!!

Works for me. The options available will change depending on what kernel you are compiling.

Thanks Jimbow,
Although your kernel configuration is different of mine (for instance I have things like "QuakeIII protocol support") I managed to configure the kernel build to support iptables.
When I'm making modules I get a compile error from one of the modules: "trealms match support". No problem, I disbale it and now it should compile.
