Ebtables executable searches for configuration file /etc/ethertypes in a wrong 
place:


# ebtables -A INPUT -p ARP -j accept
>Problem with the specified Ethernet protocol 'ARP', perhaps 
>debian/ebtables/etc/ethertypes is missing.


# cat /etc/ethertypes
>#
># Ethernet frame types

#strace ebtables -t nat  -A PREROUTING -p IPv4
