Re: Re: ebtables v 2.4.26?

Great, thanks!!! I tried the patching (since I had the
.26 in a tar in case something really ugly happened)
and saw this reject.  I added it into the routine it
listed (I think there were 2 similar, but the patch
pointed out the function name).  I'll probably take it
out again if it is not needed.
