I'm trying to setup a firewall on my machine, and after installing both
GuardDog and KMyFirewall (wanted to test each for features, etc) I
finally found out that ip_tables wasn't configured when I originally
ran genkernel.
So, I popped genkernel back up, and activated DeviceDrivers->
Networking Support-> Networking Options-> Network Packet Filtering
(replaces ip_chains). I decided to look deeper and I noticed that
there was a feature for ip_tables support about two levels down. So
once I enabled it, I again noticed that some of the (NEW) features
under it were things that GuardDog asked for (and recieved errors for)
in it's scripts. (things to do with mangling and whatnot). So, I
figured to be safe I'd enable them all.
Well After recompiling the kernel, everything booted fine, BUT when
activating my wireless card via ndiswrapper, the kernel dropped an
error and my system froze.
I'm sorry I don't remember the exact error, it just mentioned something
about modules, but after GenKerneling again, disabling Network Packet
Filtering, and recompiling, everything worked just fine.
Does anyone have any clue what's going on? Or would you guys like me to
reply to this with the exact messages, after I recompile like I
previously did?
