who? (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

iptables is compiled in the kernel, not a module:
CONFIG_NETFILTER=y

I can even do "modprobe iptable_nat" successfully (iptable_nat is module),
but iptables refuses to work. iptables is of version iptables-1.3.5-1.2.

The kernel config is copied with make oldconfig from 2.6.15-rc7 (which
worked), not much else has changed. I just booted back to 2.6.15-rc7 and
verified it works. Any ideas?

Most likely you didn't enable the new xtables options. Please post your
full config.
