Wish I could help you.  But I never seem to get past the point of even 
applying the patches ;-)

Sure, those I don't need apply clean, those that I'm interested in like 
tcp windows tracking always fail.

BTW, why do we need to recompile entire kernel and iptables, just to get 
one tiny miny module installed?  It kind of beats the hole idea of 
modularity and loadable modules, isn't it?  (well, at least half of the 
idea behind it, anyhow) Why can't we just compile two source files and 
place resulting object files into appropriate directories 
(kernel/iptables version independent)?  And not to have to worry about 
recompiling them when new kernel release is out there.
