When I read the help in the kernel-menu, I saw something under Kernel/User
netlink socket (CONFIG_NETLINK) about a device that should be made having
major mode 36. Could this be the thing missing that generates the above
error?

I have no idea how to find out if I have the device or how to make it,
since the name isn't mentioned anywhere.

I have been looking for a /dev/ingress but that doesn't exist..

Do I have to upgrade to a 2.4.X kernel to get ingress policer to work
without the errors? If that's the case, I am willing to give it a try
(and probably I should convert my ipchains to iptables?)
