Sorry friend , your information is usefill , but it's not about what I 've 
said before. In the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup file are some lines 
that match with ipchains, instead of iptables, what it should be. Iptables is 
now standard.
We don't use ipchains or i'm in the wrong mailing-list.

the only thing that is done, is the existing ipchains-rules convert to 
iptables-rules, inclusif compatibilty-check.
