The following issues are fixed in the patch below:

- ebtables requires that some of the command line parameters are passed as hex numbers; so have those attributes call a function that prints 16 and 8 bit integers as hex nunbers.

- ip6tables requires '--icmpv6-type' rather than '--icmp-type'

- ebtables complains about protocol identifiers lower than 0x600, so already discard anything lower than 0x600 in the parser

- make the protocol entry types more readable using a #define for its entries

- continue parsing a filtering rule even if a faulty entry is encountered; return an error value at the end and let the caller decide what to do with the rule's object

- fix an error message
