26sec (the 2.6 stack) also makes NAT'ing connections behind an IPSec peer 
more difficult, too.

Apparently, there are new patches for Netfilter in the pom that are
supposed to help; I haven't yet had a chance to try them, though.

I'm still running KLIPS for now, even on 2.6. I miss my ipsec interfaces
with 26sec.  :)
