IPtables not working and modules.dep missing on 2.6.32
To begin with, I will say that I am running Debian Lenny on my Wii. I have tried upgrading but with the extremely limited amount of RAM (which gets exhausted when I try and upgrade with some newer packages) there is not a chance it will work (also 2GB SD card, so limited space).
To the problem.
I was trying to set up openssh-server to run on another port, for example 4444, but when I tried to connect it failed and Nmap showed no open ports. So I figured (may be wrong here, but that is what I have found this far) that I needed to allow port 4444 through the firewall (iptables). But when I try to it spits out "Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.32-isobel-wii/modules.dep: No such file or directory" and also "iptables v1.4.2: can't initialize iptables 'filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?)".
The first error also appears on startup (since I have no GUI, I see the startup). From what I have found over the last couple days, I need to load the "module" and rebuild the kernel, but when I try to get it there is no version for it (its a Wii version though, no surprise). I have checked in /lib/modules/ and /boot/ , both of which are empty, where as I have read there should be some files.
I know I could just default back to port 22 and it would work, but I would like to use other ports for security.
Any ideas, or is it unfixable?
