here's the FIX for the kernel 2.6 problem. Mandrake's
got a PATCH:

http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/attachment.cgi?id=935&action=view

(a) save this patch off to a *.patch file

(b) unpack firestarter SOURCE code tarball into a DIR

(c) copy *.patch file (from above URL into the firestarter
source code DIR.

(d) run the patch on the source code with the following
command:

patch -p1 < firestarter-kernel-2.6.patch

(e) su (to become root)

then:

(f) ./configure
(g) make
(h) make install
(i) ./postinstall (which is a script to set up autostart
of ipchains, etc

end of procedure. hope you like.

in addition, Mandrake solved ANOTHER firestarter problem, that relating to
running firestarter from the TRAY while in KDE3. that patch is located
at the following URL:
