 * Option: BRIDGE_EBT_PKTTYPE
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (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 ...

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

 * This option adds the arp reply target, which allows automatically sending arp replies to arp requests.
 * To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.


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


 * Option: BRIDGE_EBT_MARK_T
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off/module) ebt: mark target support
 * depends on BRIDGE_NF_EBTABLES
 * This option adds the mark target, which allows marking frames by setting the 'nfmark' value in the frame. This value is the same as the one used in the iptables mark match and target.
 * To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.


 * Option: BRIDGE_EBT_REDIRECT
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...

 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (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
 * depends on BRIDGE_NF_EBTABLES
 * This option adds the ulog watcher, that you can use in any rule in any ebtables table. The packet is passed to a userspace logging daemon using netlink multicast sockets. 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.
