The new netfilter conntrack aka 'nf_conntrack' supporting IPv6 
connection tracking was added in the mainline kernel version 2.6.15. 
However it lacked IPv4 NAT support (and support for "complex" protocols 
except FTP) until version 2.6.20, so meanwhile you had to choose between 
IPv6 connection tracking provided by 'nf_conntrack' and IPv4 NAT 
provided by the old IPv4-only conntrack aka 'ip_conntrack'.

For kernel versions earlier that 2.6.15, an 'nf_conntrack' patchlet was 
available in the patch-o-matic-ng until patch-o-matic-ng-20050918. 
However it probably had a number of bugs which were corrected after 
being merged in the mainline kernel.

x_tables was added in the mainline kernel version 2.6.16. It is not 
related to nf_conntrack.
