Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to install iptables firewall on N900?
As far as I am aware, the default kernel is not compatible with iptables, or is it?
If it's not, how do I install both the compatible kernel and the iptables itself?
I've found some posts which are related to my question but since I am new to Linux I still couldn't understand how to install them
Also, if the default kernel of N900 is not compatible with iptables and if I do a firmware up'grade on my N900, will the compatible kernel got replaced so that I will have to reinstall it again?

"These are the user-space administration tools for the Linux kernel's netfilter and iptables."
well, the device is not really running ny service so a firewall isn't really necessary, IMO

.I'm still not 100% sure you cannot not do very basic iptables (setting input policy to drop for example) with the stock kernel.

Thank you in advance.
P.S.: If there's something wrong with what I said, please correct me since I'm not sure if I understood those things properly. All I want is a firewall
