gentoo iptables problem

[John Heim]

Well, I don't know anything about gen2 but it sounds as if the kernel was 
compiled w/o the ip_tables module.  I don't know exactly where that is in 
the kernel config but I would imagine that like any other module, you can 
compile it into the kernel, compile it as a module, or not compile it at 
all. You'd have to check your kernel config.

But you should be able to say 'modinfo ip_tables' and get info about the 
module if it has been built. If modinfo prints a notice that  there is no 
such module, you're going to have to recompile your kernel or download a new 
pre-compiled one.
