I use precompiled kernel from Debian on my gateway machine (386 version
of 2.4.17) and iptables are functioning.  I guess it is working.

So it is either specific combination of kernel compile, or preloading of
some modules.  

BTW, I needed to enable iptable by very long list of entry in /etc/modules.

Good luck.
