linux-armv7-6.17.8-1 and iptables

[amhairghin]

The module is missing:
iptables-restore[277]: modprobe: FATAL: Module ip_tables not found in directory /lib/modules/6.17.7-1-armv7-ARCH

From what I can see, this is happening in all versions of kernel 6.17, but there is no problem in 6.16.

The last kernel that worked correctly for me was linux-armv7-6.16.7-1.

Should be fixed in 6.17.7-3. You should try to move to nftables.

For the record, iptables-nft can be used as a drop in replacement for iptables

Could you please enable CONFIG_NETFILTER_XTABLES_LEGACY=Y

In 6.17.7-3 the issue continues to happen:
modprobe: FATAL: Module ip_tables not found in directory /lib/modules/6.17.7-3-armv7-ARCH
iptables-restore v1.8.11 (legacy): iptables-restore: unable to initialize table 'filter'
Error occurred at line: 2
Try `iptables-restore -h' or 'iptables-restore --help' for more information.

I understand what you're saying about using nftables, but it's not always possible, and besides, this problem doesn't exist in Arch Linux arm64, and I understand that both systems should be as similar as possible, right?

With 6.17.8-1 still happen:
modprobe: FATAL: Module ip_tables not found in directory /lib/modules/6.17.8-1-armv7-ARCH
iptables-restore v1.8.11 (legacy): iptables-restore: unable to initialize table 'filter'
Error occurred at line: 2
Try `iptables-restore -h' or 'iptables-restore --help' for more information.

Please note that this does not happen on arm64.

Still occurs in 6.17.9-1

Try linux-armv7-6.17.9-2 when it hits the repos.
