Please note that this release still does not yet support the just-released 2.6.0 kernel.
Expect a so-called 'patch-o-matic-ng' release for 2.6.x support in the next couple of weeks.
Does this mean that iptables will not work with 2.6 kernel? This seems unlikely to me - I think i'm understanding it incorrectly - please clarify

Have you recompiled the userspace iptables to match the new kernelspace
netfilter?
No, I hadn't considered this. - I am using an rpm package iptables-1.2.7a-2 - do you think this could be the problem?
Yes, I do. The kernelspace netfilter and the userspace iptables must match
in order for the two to work together.
Does Squid seem to work correctly as a proxy if you configure your client browser to use it specifically, rather than doing it transparently?
yes it works perfectly on port 80 as well as on port 3128 so the redirection seems to be working - but the transparency does not
That quite satisfactorily demonstrates that networking and Squid are not the
problem then, so it's definitely netfilter/iptables.
Just recompile iptables with your new kernel (and its associated header files)
installed, and you should be back to normal.
