First, Obtain the (new ?) kernel, POM-NG and iptables source and extract the files from the tarballs. Next, patch with pom the kernel and iptables source with "KERNEL_DIR=... IPTABLES_DIR=... ./runme <pending|base|extra>" Then compile the kernel modules and copy/install them into the correct lib directory. (If it's an option, maybe you can use a new kernel source and compile/install a complete brand new kernel.) After that compile a new iptables and install it and you should be done. Gr, Rob
