Problem after applying patch for "nth" module

Problem after applying patch for "nth" module

[vikrant]

Hi,

I have successfully applied patch for "nth" module but when i am trying to
add the following RULE for testing purpose:-

"iptables -A INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -m nth --every 2 -j DROP"

It throws a message "iptables: No chain/target/match by that name".

The steps i have followed to apply the patch for "nth" are:-
1 Apply the the patch for "nth" using patch-o-matic.
2 Recompile kernel
3 make and make install the iptables package.

I am trying it with kernel v2.6.14.2 and iptables v1.3.4.

After,the above failure i have tried the another way to use "nth", add nth
as a Module as follows:-
First i wrote a Makefile
----------------------------------------------------------------
obj-m += ipt_nth.o

all:
	make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules

clean:
	make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) clean
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
then execute
#make
#insmod ./ipt_nth.ko

It works.Now,i am able to use nth module.

So,please tell what i missed or did wrong in patch-o-matic procedure.

Thanks
Vikrant

Sorry,i missed some steps in the following procedure:-

[step missed] first store the " ipt_nth.h"  to the "netfilter_ipv4" 
directory.
then, i wrote a Makefile

[step missed] make clean iptables.
[step missed]  make and make install iptables.
