≈ otherwise (not set up for kernel building yet), try looking in /boot with the config file there that matches your kernel version. a grep for XTABLES.
on the subject of simply connectiing through a hub local net I have not ever had to fuss with these. i do have ssh going in to debian via my old mac powerbook540 running macos8.1 with mac ssh. I gave the book a local adress in the same subnet as the debian, that was in my case something like 192.168.0.101 and netmask 255.255.255.0 I put in /etc/hosts on debian the adresses. I get *out* through a pbg4 as convoluted but suffice to say i use ipmasq in debian there to share a wireless link with my local net. that is the pbg4 gets online through the wireless hop and ipmasq makes it appear to be a single machine although it is actually connected to the hub. then i can get ftp to package downloads assuming i know the adress (I have been so far too lazy to set up routing). I think I read that before ipmasq you used to have to do this with iptables and it was tougher. i don't recomend these methods necessarily. it is just that wireless is all the rage here and no body supports wiring anymore, if you have a wiring problem you are told to get wireless, even though universal reception is technically not too achievable (I get it about half the time, the other half I have take-out). i wonder i have seen that there are wireless devices for scsi. don't know if any available/ supported though. not sure if it would be worth it. I do keep archives of html research notes on the pb520, but the web is pretty harsh for it, the last time i had a wire which was a few years ago.
