ip6tables problem

[Shawn O'Shea]

I fired up a Debian wheezy vm. It looks like there is a corresponding
kernel module. When I try your ip6tables command, it works, and autoloads
the necessary kernel modules.
root at debian:~# lsmod | grep LOG
root at debian:~# ip6tables -A INPUT -m limit --limit 3/min --limit-burst 10
-j LOG --log-prefix "[INPUT6]: "
root at debian:~# lsmod | grep LOG
ip6t_LOG               12609  1
ip6_tables             22175  2 ip6table_filter,ip6t_LOG
x_tables               19118  4 ip6_tables,ip6table_filter,xt_limit,ip6t_LOG

The module lives in the matching kernel version module tree, like:
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/net/ipv6/netfilter/ip6t_LOG.ko

Is that on your system? Have you created a custom compiled kernel that
perhaps does not have the proper option enabled to build it?
