Shorewall 4.0.3 and kernel 2.6.22-gentoo-r9

I'm running into an issue starting shorewall 4.0.3 in a kernel 2.6.22-gentoo-r9 environment. The error I'm getting is:

There have been significant changes in the iptables configuration in the kernel since 2.6.18. You'd be best off going through menuconfig again, at least for that part of it.

I have the same issue.

I know major changes occured with 2.6.20 which I had to consult a page on the Shorewall website (sorry I forgot the link) to get it resolved. Seem something got changed also in 2.6.22.

I'm still investigating.

[edit] Found it. See this: http://www.shorewall.net/kernel.htm

Thanks! I had the same error in the 1st post when starting shorewall after a kernel update (2.6.18 - 2.6.23). The configs posted in the link seemed to do the trick. I'm not recompiling everything into the kernel, as it seemed to work as modules.
