[ale] Kernel v2.4.x and Firewalls

[Jerry Z. Yu]

if you try to make menuconfig or make xconfig to compile the kernel,
under networking/netfilter options/, the last two is for ipchains/ipfw??
cocmpatibility, if you insist to use ipchains under 2.4  kernel

much to say about why to convert to use iptables,
http://netfilter.samba.org/
download iptables.1.2, compile and run.
