Hi. I've also been having issues with my Orange Pi 5. It seems the problem is that the module was removed from the kernel, but I haven't looked into it in detail yet. The folks at NixOS seem to have solved this issue

I have this specific problem
waydroid show-full-ui
[22:49:14] Starting waydroid session
[22:49:14] RuntimeError: Command failed: % /usr/lib/waydroid/data/scripts/waydroid-net.sh start

sudo /usr/lib/waydroid/data/scripts/waydroid-net.sh start
modprobe: FATAL: Module ip_tables not found in directory /lib/modules/6.18.10-current-rockchip64
iptables v1.8.11 (legacy): can't initialize iptables table `filter': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
Failed to setup waydroid-net.
My system
user@orangepi5:~$ uname -a
Linux orangepi5 6.18.10-current-rockchip64 #2 SMP PREEMPT Wed Feb 11 12:42:01 UTC 2026 aarch64 GNU/Linux
I'm not a network expert, so I hope someone can help.
Are you having the same problem?
