There is no patch for kernel 2.0 which allows ipchains to be used.
You'll need to use a 2.2 kernel if you want to use ipchains.
Debian 2.1 is actually mostly compatible with kernel 2.2 - if you take a
look at the release notes on the web site you'll find a link to a page
detailing exactly what needs upgrading (you may find there's nothing at
all that you use - I'm running a 2.2 kernel on Debian 2.1 with no
upgrades).
