Bug Description

Binary package hint: iptables

The man-page of ip6tables does not mention some of the available features in ip6tables. As an example, the "match" module is not mentioned, but it clearly work:

~ >sudo ip6tables -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -A INPUT -j ACCEPT
~ >sudo ip6tables -nL INPUT
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT 0 ::/0 ::/0 state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
