The full .config is here http://www.iki.fi/v/tmp/2.6.17-rc1.config I indeed do not have xfilter enabled (I was unaware that such thing had been introduced :): --8<----------------------------------------------------------------------- ... CONFIG_NETFILTER=y # CONFIG_NETFILTER_DEBUG is not set # # Core Netfilter Configuration # # CONFIG_NETFILTER_NETLINK is not set # CONFIG_NETFILTER_XTABLES is not set # # IP: Netfilter Configuration # CONFIG_IP_NF_CONNTRACK=m # CONFIG_IP_NF_CT_ACCT is not set # CONFIG_IP_NF_CONNTRACK_MARK is not set # CONFIG_IP_NF_CONNTRACK_EVENTS is not set # CONFIG_IP_NF_CT_PROTO_SCTP is not set CONFIG_IP_NF_FTP=m # CONFIG_IP_NF_IRC is not set # CONFIG_IP_NF_NETBIOS_NS is not set # CONFIG_IP_NF_TFTP is not set # CONFIG_IP_NF_AMANDA is not set # CONFIG_IP_NF_PPTP is not set # CONFIG_IP_NF_H323 is not set # CONFIG_IP_NF_QUEUE is not set ... --8<----------------------------------------------------------------------- I'll try building a new kernel with CONFIG_NETFILTER_XTABLES enabled and report back.
