Description

rewrote kernel config for meson64-current which is 6.18.y
Reason was https://forum.armbian.com/topic/58646-iptables-module-missing-from-61810-current-meson64-kernel/
Not sure if this fixed anything, I did not check the "before" or if this was/is an user error. On the bottom line a rewrite never hurts.
The only real addition seems to be CONFIG_NETFILTER_XTABLES_LEGACY=y

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Updated kernel configuration to strengthen network filtering and address translation capabilities: enabled enhanced IPv4/IPv6 NAT processing and security packet handling, expanded packet redirection and masquerading capabilities, improved bridge network filtering with new routing options, and enabled legacy xtables support for comprehensive network management.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Updated kernel configuration for Netfilter and xtables subsystems on meson64 architecture. Removed several legacy packet filtering targets while enabling new legacy xtables support and adding IP/IPv6 NAT processing, raw packets, security policies, and bridge filtering/NAT components for enhanced network packet handling.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Kernel Netfilter/xtables Configuration
config/kernel/linux-meson64-current.config		 Removed multiple Netfilter xtables targets (CT, HL, NAT, NETMAP, REDIRECT, MASQUERADE) while enabling legacy xtables support. Added IP/IPv6 NAT, raw packet, and security configuration options. Introduced bridge ebtables legacy mode with broute and table filtering/NAT components. Added NOTRACK, TRACE, and IPv6 HL targets.

Poem

🐰 Hops with glee through network flows,
NAT and filters, xtables grows!
Legacy modes and bridges bright,
Packet paths now shimmer right. ✨
This kernel hops, so swift and true!
