Stephen, Josh,

Thank you for your help.

I can't find an entry for ip_tables, or iptables anywhere in make 
xconfig. I tried opening .config and doing a search there. But even 
still, I can't find them. Do they have some other kind of reference that 
I should be hunting for?
Also, I'm thinking that I'm likely to come across a few more issues like 
this over the next couple of weeks. So I figured my plan would be to add 
the modules the same way I did with the IVTV modules as they come up. 
Then when it seems like I'm not finding any more modules I need to add, 
I'll rebuild the kernel with the .config file that should, by then, 
include all the modules that I'm needing.
Is there anything obviously wrong with that plan?
