My annoyance is more with the Netfilter team for making these capricious
name changes. But I must also admit that at the moment, I have neither the
time nor the computer resources to be able to test Shorewall against new
kernel releases.

Indeed.

This is getting pretty unwieldy with the massive renaming of modules that
has gone on in the last several kernel releases but I've hacked up a
/usr/share/shorewall/modules file based on your input and I've attached it.
Please give it a try (ignore the version of the file -- the 'modules' files
for all supported releases are the same except for the version number in the
comments). I don't know if I got the load order correct since I don't have
access to "lsmod" output to see the module dependencies.

If you load that module, does /proc/net/ip_conntrack suddenly appear?

Note also that all bridge configurations built using the instructions at
http://www.shorewall.net/bridge.html also stop working with 2.6.20 and later
kernels.
