 * (on/off/module) "ebt: mark filter support"
 * depends on BRIDGE_NF_EBTABLES

 * (on/off/module) "ebt: packet type filter support"
 * depends on BRIDGE_NF_EBTABLES

 * To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.


 * Option: BRIDGE_EBT_STP
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...

 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off/module) "ebt: dnat target support"
 * depends on BRIDGE_NF_EBTABLES
 * This option adds the MAC DNAT target, which allows altering the MAC destination address of frames.

 * (on/off/module) "ebt: mark target support"
 * depends on BRIDGE_NF_EBTABLES

 * (on/off/module) "ebt: snat target support"
 * depends on BRIDGE_NF_EBTABLES
 * This option adds the MAC SNAT target, which allows altering the MAC source address of frames.
 * To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
 * watchers
 * watchers


 * Option: BRIDGE_EBT_LOG
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off/module) "ebt: log support"
 * depends on BRIDGE_NF_EBTABLES
 * This option adds the log watcher, that you can use in any rule in any ebtables table. It records info about the frame header to the syslog.
 * To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.


 * Option: BRIDGE_EBT_ULOG
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off/module) "ebt: ulog support"

This differs from the log watcher in the sense that the complete packet is sent to userspace instead of a descriptive text and that netlink multicast sockets are used instead of the syslog.
 * To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
