Description Evan Langlois 2004-06-16 14:22:22 UTC

I can't seem to find /etc/ethertypes on any of my Gentoo boxes.  It should be a requirement when emerging the ebtables package.  This file translates names to numbers, like IPV4 for 0x0800.

Whats this? ebtables installs /etc/ethertypes

solar@simple / $ epm -q -l ebtables
/sbin/ebtables
/usr/share/man/man8/ebtables.8.gz
/etc/ethertypes

So whats the problem?

Weird - Its there now.  Maybe it was missing in an older version?  I've been reinstalling a bunch of stuff.  I dunno, not important.

net-firewall/ebtables-2.0.9.2-r1 again does not install /etc/ethertypes
