ebtables is an ethernet filter which has a userspace interface very similar to 
the iptables interface.
ebtables is useful on a Linux bridge on which you wish to filter traffic. With 
this utility you can filter _all_ traffic passing the bridge. Filtering is done 
on the ethernet frame header. For IP packets some basic IP filtering can be 
done. Future development will probably mainly be supporting filtering for other 
protocols (e.g. vlan).

ebtables consists of a kernel module and the usespace tool. It uses the 
netfilter functionality provided in the 2.4.x kernels. Not compatible with 
2.2.x.
