when the ip_tables module is loaded automatically when inserting the

Everything is fine if ip_tables was loaded before.

This box runs 2.6.18.5. Can anyone confirm this bug?

Looks like this problem was fixed between iptables releases 1.3.5 and
1.3.7 (the old buggy version was trying to detect whether the kernel
supports the newer MARK target version before loading the ip_tables
module, therefore the check was giving bogus results).
