Unhappy executing a loaded module returns "command not found" error


Hi all,
I'm trying to load ebtables module in Linux 2.6.9-34 kernel. I can load the module, when I grep lsmod for ebtables, I see that it has been loaded, but when I execute the ebtables command, I get a "command not found error". Is there some PATH variable that I need to append? If so, do I need to append it with the path to the ebtables.ko file?
Given below is the series of commands leading to the error-
[root:/lib/modules/2.6.9-34.ELsmp/kernel/net/bridge/netfilter] modprobe ebtables
[root:/lib/modules/2.6.9-34.ELsmp/kernel/net/bridge/netfilter] lsmod | grep ebtables
ebtables 24385 0
[root:/lib/modules/2.6.9-34.ELsmp/kernel/net/bridge/netfilter] ebtables
-bash: ebtables: command not found

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Neelay.

try as root

# /sbin/ebtables

You can find the path to the binary by

$ whereis -b ebtables
