This command was the key. I no longer have that error message.
For the record, I'm using iptables. I have enabled it within my cusom
configured kernel. I'm not using the /etc/init.d/iptables script. I do
not have active and inactive rulesets. The network still works fine,
after deactivating iptables by dpkg-reconfigure.

Good times to you too, Vineet. Thank you for this simple solution.
