[SOLVED] How to use the new ebtables, or how to keep the old one?

Hello,

Very recently, with the upgrade of the iptables package to version 1.8, it now conflicts with the package ebtables.  Of course, iptables now provides its own ebtables implementation, but that implementation evidently does not include a manpage and does not seem to support all the options that the old ebtables does.  (For now, I've solved this problem by downgrading iptables and reinstalling ebtables.)

So, I'm looking for either of these things:
1. How to keep the old ebtables without offending the new iptables, or
2. How to figure out the equivalent of this command with the new ebtables:

ebtables -t nat -A OUTPUT -o ! enp3s0 -d multicast -j dnat --to-dst ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

(Since I'm sure someone will ask: the reason I need this mildly unusual ebtables entry is to work around a design flaw in a shitty WAP.)

That update has been reverted in testing, since ebtables didn't really work. Wait for it to hit Core.
