Hi!
I have just added a patch on Debian to fix http://bugs.debian.org/496491 and
have seen that other patches are yet unapplied on git, so I'm adding them
here.
For http://bugs.debian.org/496491 It resulted that the problem was bigger
than what the user reports and almost all setting commands, if not all, were
failing. The problem seems to be with the path as the user reported.

How do bridging and firewalling go together? First of all, you need a
kernel patch against the 2.4 kernel to actually make firewalling bridged
packets possible. You need to apply this patch to your kernel and recompile
-it, or alternatively, download a pre-patched Red Hat 7.2 kernel RPM and use
-that. The patch and kernel RPM are located at:
+it. The patch is maitained at:
- http://bridge.sourceforge.net/devel/bridge-nf/
+ http://ebtables.sourceforge.net/
Now if you boot with this kernel, you can use the regular iptables
firewalling as if you were doing routing. So, rules for forwarding are
Hope that helps!
