nf_conntrack is the new layer-3 independent Netfilter connection 
tracking framework. It supports both IPv4 and IPv6 and is aimed to 
replace the old ip_conntrack framework which supports only IPv4. 
nf_conntrack is included in the standard kernel since version 2.6.15, 
but lacked support for NAT until version 2.6.20 so, as NAT is 
unfortunately more widely used than IPv6, ip_conntrack was still the 
default. ip_conntrack and nf_conntrack are mutually exclusive.

If you have trouble with nf_conntrack helper modules, you could rebuid a 
kernel with nf_conntrack disabled and ip_conntrack enabled.
