I haven't tried it with a default netfilter setup, I was just going off
of the documentation in regard to iproute2, which is the only thing I
recalled of optional features.
There are a few spells that need certain kernel modules either compiled
in or as a module. Perhaps we need a grimoire library to handle this
case, or maybe have a hook in sorcery that can interface with a grimoire
library routine to have module dependencies. I wonder what the best way
would be to do this. Just have a CONFIGURE test and prompt? "Recompile
linux with X support?" which would be able to add Linux to the
dependency list with a forced recompile (after editing
/etc/sorcery/local/kernel.config).
In the past, we usually just drop a note after compile on what to make
sure you have.
