iptables help

[tdphys]

I'm trying to get iptables running using shorewall..
I followed the instructions for iptables in the security guide, and enable the netfileter modules in make menuconfig.., compiled the kernel.. etc..

emerged iptables
emerged shorewall

but I'm left with:

modprobe: Can't locate module ip_tables
iptables v1.2.8: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
Processing /etc/shorewall/stop ...
modprobe: Can't locate module ip_tables
iptables v1.2.8: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

when I run 'shorewall start'

heres what I enabled in my menuconfig
[*] Network packet filtering (replaces ipchains)

Anybody have an Idea..
I assume the modules should be loaded by hotplug..
but I seem to be seriously missing some part of the get ip_tables running process...
Thanks for the help

Sounds stupid, but when you installed the new kernel, did you do

[tdphys]

I did the # make modules_install
and the # modules-update
I can't find anything in the lib/modules that seem to relate to iptables either..
so I wonder if the modules didn't come in the gaming-sources emerge?
