CONFIG_FILTER error on arm

[Mukund Deshpande]

Hi all,

I have cross compiled latest dhcp source for my arm box.

The cross compiled linux kernel is am using is 2.6.31.8.


/home/abc # /usr/sbin/dhcpd -cf /etc/dhcpd.conf -lf /etc/dhcpd.leases eth0

CONFIG_PACKET (Packet socket) and CONFIG_FILTER
(Socket Filtering) are enabled in your kernel
configuration!


I am getting this error (this is mentioned in README file, yes and i
have tried looking through my .config file but there is no
CONFIG_FILTER
so i enabled CONFIG_NETFILTER  (enabled all options in     [*] Network
packet filtering framework (Netfilter)  --->    by doing make
menuconfig ) based on some inputs by searching in google.


Looks like it loaded well

i2c /dev entries driver
Netfilter messages via NETLINK v0.30.
nf_conntrack version 0.5.0 (1920 buckets, 7680 max)
CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT is deprecated and will be removed soon. Please use
nf_conntrack.acct=1 kernel parameter, acct=1 nf_conntrack module option or
sysctl net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_acct=1 to enable it.
ctnetlink v0.93: registering with nfnetlink.
xt_time: kernel timezone is -0000

Now i am unsure what might be causing this problem..

I would be glad if anybody could tell me what options are required to
enable Those config params on my arm machine.
