    Hi list

    I'm getting an error when running iptables:

    root@ns2:~# iptables -L -v
    iptables v1.2.11: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Module is
    wrong version
    Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

    and yet, iptables module seems to be loaded fine:

    I'm running kernel-image-2.6.8-9-amd64-k8-smp (version 2.6.8-8) and
    iptables (version 1.2.11-10). Anyone encountered this before and been
    able to get around it?
