Hi there everyone, first off, a big thanks to everyone involved in openwrt. Next the problem.

I'm trying to get wifidog going on kamikaze and it turns out i need ipt_mac in order to support the iptables based rules mechanism in the wifidog gateway. The wifidog gatewaycan't find the ipt_mac library and neither can insmod.

I think I might need a ipt_mac.ko and an ipt_mac.so in order to do this. But I cant find them in the kamikaze build tree I have constructed.

Please can someone provide me with a bit of advice on how get ipt_mac working. I'm desperate :-( and don't really understand enough about the Linux kernel and libraries to solve the problem.

Cheers

Ben

Well, fixed my problem by building a new 7.07 tree, configuring all the ipt packages as built in. Wifidog can now see all the ipt stuff.

This is still a problem for me, because I'm relying on the packaged distributions.  Specifically...

root@OpenWRT:~# ipkg files kmod-ipt-ipopt
Package kmod-ipt-ipopt (2.6.22.4-brcm47xx-1) is installed on root and has the following files:
/lib/modules/2.6.22.4/xt_mac.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.22.4/xt_CLASSIFY.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.22.4/ipt_ecn.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.22.4/xt_length.ko
/etc/modules.d/40-ipt-ipopt
/lib/modules/2.6.22.4/ipt_tos.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.22.4/xt_DSCP.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.22.4/xt_mark.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.22.4/ipt_ECN.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.22.4/xt_dscp.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.22.4/xt_MARK.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.22.4/ipt_ttl.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.22.4/ipt_time.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.22.4/ipt_TOS.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.22.4/ipt_TTL.ko

Done.

"lsmod" shows these installed - including "xt_mac" - but that's not the same as "ipt_mac" is it?  Is there a version of this package (or some other package) for 2.6.22.4-brcm47xx-1 which has ipt_mac compiled and installed?

Problem Solved by upgrading to Kamikaze 7.09, and installing iptables-mod-ipopt, which pulls in kmod-ipt-ipopt as a dependency.  A quick test - adding an iptables rule which includes both mac-address matching and packet-marking - shows that I'm now ready to get wifidog up and running!

By the way, I still can't do this on my 7.07 (r8480) box because of old/new package conflicts:

r8480# ipkg install iptables-mod-ipopt
Installing iptables-mod-ipopt (1.3.8-1) to root...
Downloading http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/brcm47xx-2.6/packages/./iptables-mod-ipopt_1.3.8-1_mipsel.ipk
An error ocurred, return value: 1.
Collected errors:
Package iptables-mod-ipopt wants to install file /usr/lib/iptables/libipt_tcpmss.so
        But that file is already provided by package iptables

No big deal, I prefer the wifidog box to have a fresh installation of the newest release, anyway!
