need help getting ipchains goin'



ipchains not installed by default?  I thought Linux was made for networking.  Anyway, I'm not too familiar with this but here is my problem.  When I run ipchains it says incompatible with this kernel. I'm on compact debian 3.0 so kernel must be 2.2.2.0.  Modprobe ipchains says no such module.  Downloaded ipchains source.  README says kernel needs to be compiled with CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL or CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL_CHAINS set to 'y'.  Verify by checking for the existence of /proc/net/ip_fwchains.  I checked and no such file exists.  Is this a simple matter of downloading a module and using insmod or what?
