I went into the kernel and selected (as the doc I found suggests) all of the options as modules under iptables. (The doc also says that if they are compiled as modules, I didn't need to reboot). I did add iptables to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 (for subsequent rebooting). modprobe ip_tables results in: FATAL: Error inserting ip_tables (/lib/modules/2.6.12-gentoo-r9/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter. dmesg produces - ip_tables: disagrees about version of symbol skb_copy_files ip_tables: Unknow symbol skb_copy_bits ip_tables: Unknown symbol nf_register_sockopt ip_tables: ip_tables: Unknown symbol nf_unregister_sockopt ip_tables: Unknown symbol nf_unregister_sockopt (I just found another doc that says to ONLY modprobe IF you haven't built this as a module) DOH! I went back into the kernel config and removed all but the essential options for iptables... (just iptables module) and rebuilt the kernel A reboot (aside from losing my wireless), produced an error on boot loading iptables. no other text in dmesg points to the problem.
