Subject: [gentoo-user] Can't get iptables to work on AMD64, 2.6.12-gentoo-r10

4 My system is AMD64, Linux 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 (from gentoo-sources),
5 iptables 1.3.2 and generally up-to-date. I can't seem to get iptables
6 to work. Netfilter support is compiled into the kernel (compiling it
7 as a module and loading that gave the same result), as evidenced by:
8
9 $ zgrep -i iptables /proc/config.gz
10 CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES=y
11 $
12
13 but iptables refuses to run:
14
15 # iptables -L -n
16 FATAL: Module ip_tables not found.
17 iptables v1.3.2: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
18 Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
19 #
20
21 `iptables -X filter' gives me the same error message.
22
23 Any suggestions as for how to get packet filtering working (including
24 kernel configuration options to try) would be greatly appreciated.
