Oh, I also had to make M=net/netfilter for generic changes.

Thanks for your answer, but I'm already building with the same gcc version.

comment How do I build the iptables kernel module for a loaded kernel?
Yep, all my config files are backed up. I managed to build iptables like this: 1. copy .config and Module.symvers 2. make prepare&&make tools 3. make M=net/ipv4/netfilter 4. make M=net/ipv4/netfilter modules_install. Now I have to find out how to modprobe -r ip_tables so I can use the newly built modules.

I build my kernel in tmpfs, so modules_install has to recompile everything. Isn't there a smarter way as done with nouveau?

comment Why does tar --exclude=“.*” create an empty archive?
You're not completely right on the dot part, although * does not match hidden files unless dotglob is set, subdirectories can still contain hidden files which are happily tarred if not using an exclude rule.

cp and mv are pretty good choices. What additional features do you need? For renaming, see unix.stackexchange.com/q/1136/8250

comment Can Bumblee really help with Optimus Laptops?
@user997704 With Bumblebee you need to run optirun [program name] to render applications on the graphics card. When installing Bumblebee, you should immediately notice power savings because the nvidia card is not powered. See also this Optimus question on AU
