Subject: 2.4.0 test12 ipchains doesn't work as module

I configured 2.4.0 test12 to use the ipchains compatability option as
a module and I did a modprobe on all the other modules in that section
of such as iptable_filter, etc. When I tried to do the modprobe on
ip_nf_compat_ipchains (if I have the name correct) it said device or
resource busy. When I built it into the kernel, this problem went
away.

Do I need to do those modprobes as I have done in 2.2?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

I'm not sure if I understand you correctly, but it is _not_ possible
to use any of the two backwards compatibility modules in combination with
the new modules. Either you use ipchains backwards compatibility _or_
iptable_filter.

For more discussion about iptables/netfilter, join the netfilter mailinglist
(see http://netfilter.kernelnotes.org)
