[Voyage-linux] Question - iptables cannot remove a rule ("bad rule" error) - possible bug?

Hi,

I've recently installed Voyage 0.6.5 on my Alix board and when I started 
to configure Shorewall, I ran into an error with iptables.

Shorewall start ends when it tries to remove rule "/sbin/iptables -D 
INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT". It just says "Bad 
rule (does a matching rule exist in that chain?)".

I cleared up the iptables and tried to add the same rule and then remove 
it manually - it did the same thing again, so it's not Shorewall, but 
something with iptables. It's working fine on my other linux box 
(opensuse). Somehow, iptables don't find the rule, which I want to remove.

I have kernel version 2.6.30-voyage #1 PREEMPT, shorewall 4.0.15 and 
iptables 1.4.2 on my Voyage installation.

Does anyone know what to do with it or do you need more information (if 
yes, what kind of information do you need)?

Thanks in advance,
Lukas
