If you run "dmesg | grep filter" do you see:

ip_tables: (C) 2000-2002 Netfilter core team

???

Can we assume you did "make modules_install" when building the current
kernel?

Did you run "emerge iptables" (Im assuming yes) ?

Do you have any IP tables modules too? ("grep IP_NF_
/usr/src/linx/.config" should tell you).
