Wasn't iptables introduced in 2.4? According to netfilter.org,
"iptables requires a kernel that features the ip_tables packet
filter." I assume that means ip_tables.o. It'd be great if you could
do that.

I'd really love to, but I am still unable to compile my own kernel.
When I try to make, I get the following errors:
