A simple `make oldconfig' ends up zapping pretty much all the old iptables CONFIG_ options, so you end up with not much of iptables or netfilter left. I must admit not quite understanding why the xtables stuff is needed: I thought that was needed for userspace connection tracking, which while it sounds cool isn't something I'm using yet. -- `On a scale of 1-10, X's "brokenness rating" is 1.1, but that's only because bringing Windows into the picture rescaled "brokenness" by a factor of 10.' --- Peter da Silva
