Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 10.10 64 bits

basically what i want to do is:
# iptables -A FORWARD -m geoip --src-cc A1,A2 -j DROP

but i run into 2 issues with this:
1) the tools are missing for downloading and converting (geoip_csv_iv0.pl) the 
databases, and
  the link (http://jengelh.hopto.org/files/geoip/) named
 in the docu doesn't work, basically the tools are damn nasty to find.
2) when i managed 1) it still doesn't work, and i get a:
  # iptables -A FORWARD -m geoip --src-cc A1,A2 -j DROP
  iptables: No chain/target/match by that name.

what i expect:
1) tools are included with xtables-addons (geoip_download.sh and 
geoip_csv_iv0.pl) or
  docu point to a link which contains those tools
2) this should just work perhaps after insmodding an ipt_geoip (and having
   the database files)


about 2):
I think there is no kernel (match) support:
#cat /proc/net/ip_tables_matches
state
multiport
udplite
udp
tcp 
icmp

where geoip is missing
in /lib/modules is no ipt_geoip, or something which looks like it.


At the xtables support page ubuntu is listed in red (like many other
distro's):
http://xtables-addons.sourceforge.net/distro-support.php


Of course i can start the custom kernel/patching etc etc, but this is not
what i seek (for long term).   
Please consider of fixing this.
