When 32-bit iptables is executed, it tried to modprobe ip_tables and fail. 64-bit iptables did not. Functionality of that module is of course in kernel. Maybee some ioctl32 is missing. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. log in 32-bit chroot 2. iptables -L ET -v 3. (probably all other iptables parameters fails same way, that's only example) Actual Results: root@bluestar:~# iptables -L ET -v iptables v1.2.11: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Module is wrong version Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

iptables isn't expected to run in a 32bit chroot, since it uses modules. use it outside, in the 64bit environment
Sound also uses modules and work in 32bit chroot ... you mean this is different ? How ? (Note - workaround: I made statically linked 64bit iptables and I'm running it in 32bit environment. "Outside" is relative. Only problem is that this static iptables seem to don't use /etc/services ....)
Because sound has a standard, bit-neutral interface, and iptables doesn't?
