You don't need any patch to put to work netfilter/iptables.
I'm pretty sure that is disabled in the kernel configuration.

Hi,
In our current kernel, iptables doesn't work due to the error "can't
initialize iptables table `filter'".
I suspect that the netfilter is not turned on in the kernel.
We download the v2.6.20.11 sourcecode and try to do a menuconfig but
the networking packet filtering framework does not provide any option
for us to select to turn on netfilter. Can anyone let me know what patch
files
I need to add to allow me to choose this netfilter feature?
thanks
