nothing works

Ahoj Ebtablers!

I wonder how to work with ebtables. It seems to me that
nothing works. I isolated the problem to this single
command.

ebtables -F && ebtables -P INPUT DROP

So now the question. Why do I still have Internet?

I only have one interface (eth0) up. ebtables -L tells
me that the policy is DROP and there  are no other rules.
I have the kernel modules loaded. There is nothing in
the log-files. I have Debian with Kernel 2.6.2-2-k7.

Any ideas? What could be wrong. The kernel ignores my
ebtable settings. I don't know what to do.

greetings

Hartmut
