On a gateway you need at least some firewall support - how can I get nftable or iptable working on the Labrador 64bit? (Still trying to use Labrador as an IoT edge gateway).
Is remember there was a discussion once about it, but how can we build our own kernel again for the Labrador? What is the crosscompiling tool-chain? How can a new kernel be installed? How can missing modules be compiled?
@ulno, Hi!
You can follow the instructions on readme file of our github, I believe that there are aswer for all your questions about kernel. (GIT

Thanks, I managed to select some modules, compile them, but now failing to load them. When modprobing nf_nat, I get:
[ 1531.173233] nf_defrag_ipv4: disagrees about version of symbol register_pernet_subsys
[ 1531.173247] nf_defrag_ipv4: Unknown symbol register_pernet_subsys (err -22)

I have no idea what is going on here. Can’t finding anything about these in the kernel modules, so it seems to be something internal. Any idea?
Anybody ever tried to use the Labrador as a router or gateway, who could share their knowledge?
I solved the unknown symbols problem, I basically just forgot depmod -a after transferring the modules (yep, it’s a long time ago I worked with the kernel) -> maybe that would be a nice addition to the documentation?
Now I am stuck with these errors when trying to set up masquerading:
iptables v1.8.2 (nf_tables): CHAIN_ADD failed (No such file or directory): chain PREROUTING
iptables v1.8.2 (nf_tables): CHAIN_ADD failed (No such file or directory): chain INPUT
Sharing Internet using method: nat
iptables v1.8.2 (nf_tables): Chain 'MASQUERADE' does not exist
Anybody has an idea what or which module I am missing?
Got a bit further, now it’s only:
iptables v1.8.2 (nf_tables): RULE_INSERT failed (No such file or directory): rule in chain POSTROUTING
Did anybody build a kernel that includes all modules you can compile for Labrador (a bit closer to the Debian default)?
Randomly enabling more network modules fixed above error and makes firewall workable. I also had to add --data=16 to the start of haveged (entropy daemon) - that error happened on other sbc too, it seems to hint at some cache errors, please check: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=866306
After fixing this, I however now get serious errors from the WiFi driver, so I assume the Labrador still cannot be used as an accesspoint. Anybody working on WiFi?

Wifi Accesspoint does work on Labrador 32 bit (with kernel 4.14) though.
