Does anyone have directions on how to set this up with the 2.2.19k kernel?
I tried these directions and it said iptables command not found. I
installed the everything package so I shouldn't have missed anything thanks

Hi Carlos,
You have a few options. Assuming that your gigabit ethernet card works in
YDL 2 (and if it doesn't, then frankly, you're hosed as far as I know) -
decide if you need AppleTalk and TCP/IP access or only TCP/IP access.
Things get simpler when you only need TCP/IP. In any case, the first step
is to define an entry as 'netdev' in your /etc/molrc. Whatever you define
here will be presented to MacOS as 'Ethernet' - if you define multiple
interfaces here, you'll get multiple interfaces in MacOS.
I personally use the ethertap driver for TCP/IP access - assuming that your
kernel has ethertap compiled (pretty safe bet if you're using the standard
kernel or if you modified the standard kernel, but didn't remove ethertap
support manually). The basic principle is that you'll set up a private
network between your MOL session and your Linux side and then masquerade
that to the outside world. Now - there are certainly other ways to do this
(or so I've heard) - but here's what I do (assumes a 2.4.x kernel as well):
/sbin/modprobe ethertap
/sbin/ifconfig tap0 172.16.113.1 broadcast 172.16.113.255 netmask
255.255.255.0 arp up
/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ethX -j MASQUERADE
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
This should get things set up properly on the Linux side of things - replace
ethX with whatever your gigabit ethernet is configured as (eth0, eth1 -
whatever). Add the following to your /etc/molrc:
netdev: tap0
And boot into MacOS. You should now have an Ethernet device to configure in
your TCP/IP control panel - configure it as such:
IP: 172.16.113.2
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway/Router: 172.16.113.1
DNS: (whatever your DNS server is, I use 24.6.204.17)
That should be it! You should be able to access anything that your Linux
box has access to. Good luck - and if you need AppleTalk support, write
back. ;)

9.1 just tells me that there's no device present.
anybody?
I'm so close!
