last week I built a kernel for my home router. It works fine. Configuring the kernel I used these instructions: <http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/home-router-howto.xml#doc_chap2_pre2>.Now, I try to configure a 2.6.16 kernel instead of a 2.6.15 and I cannot find the configuration options any more: [*] IP tables support (required for filtering/masq/NAT) (all below) I was sure it was me who forgot to activate another option somewhere else. But I opened two terminal windows side by side, compared, and still cannot find it. I diffed the `.config' files, too. Copying the IP_NF_* part into the `.config' file yields these warnigs when executing `make menuconfig' next time: .config:338:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol IP_NF_MATCH_LIMIT ... Did I miss something essential?
Nope. You have to enable netfilter xtables support first. HTH -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
