[isf-wifidog] Wifidog gateway init script for a PC

[Ismail Uman]

Hi,
sending the process in the background or writing to a file the verbose
output or omitting the verbose option does not make any difference:
neither of the wifidog command option does return the prompt;
I need to press enter one more time to get it. 
With the command 
>wifidog -d 7 
I get the following error instead of the verbose output: 
>iptables: Invalid argument
and no prompt again:
====================================================
dhcppc3:/etc/init.d # /etc/init.d/wifidog start
Starting Wifidog ...
Testing for iptables modules
  Testing ipt_mac
   ipt_mac  module is working
  Testing ipt_mark
   ipt_mark module is working
  Testing ipt_REDIRECT
   ipt_REDIRECT  module is working
OK

done
dhcppc3:/etc/init.d # iptables: Invalid argument

========================================================
it hangs here!!! I need to press enter to get the 
dhcppc3:/etc/init.d # prompt. However the gateway and the auth server
work fine and if I stop wifidog I get the prompt:
========================================================
dhcppc3:/etc/init.d # /etc/init.d/wifidog stop
Stopping Wifidog ...

with YAST I get window popup  
/etc/init.d/wifidog start returned nil (unspecified error)
instead of success.
The end of the /var/log/message is

Thanks.
