Btw, I've checked now the site and it provides a 2.6.16 kernel (it seems).
Anyway, you'll probably find a kernel which suits your needs here: http://uml.nagafix.co.uk/ In those kernels (to be used instead of that one) full iptables support is statically linked in. This will consume some more memory. The solution which always work, provided you can compile a UML kernel, is to recompile your own kernel and enable iptables (and what you need) either statically or as a module; in the latter case, install modules - this is the more optimal solution, but it is incovenient because you must install the modules for each kernel you compile in the guest image (you can do this via loop-mounting if you don't use COW files). -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can keep imitating Homer Simpson's "Doh!".
