i upgraded to 3.7.10-gentoo #1 SMP Tue Mar 12 15:30:56 EDT 2013 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5200+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

and now, I cant seem to get NAT working with my iptables ..
Code:

beast netfilter # iptables -t nat -nL
iptables v1.4.17: can't initialize iptables table `nat': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
beast netfilter # iptables -F -t nat
iptables v1.4.17: can't initialize iptables table `nat': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
beast netfilter # iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -s 10.1.1.1 -d 0/0 -j MASQUERADE
iptables v1.4.17: can't initialize iptables table `nat': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.



and in dmesg, I see

Code:
[  780.624734] nf_nat: Unknown symbol nf_nat_decode_session_hook (err 0)
[  780.626740] nf_nat: Unknown symbol nf_nat_decode_session_hook (err 0)
[  804.025641] nf_nat: Unknown symbol nf_nat_decode_session_hook (err 0)
[  804.027628] nf_nat: Unknown symbol nf_nat_decode_session_hook (err 0)


Im sure im missing something in the kernel config, but I cant seem to find it.

Going from memory, so could be wrong / incomplete
Check for
Code:
--> Networking Support
   --> Networking Options
      --> Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter)
         --> IP: Netfilter Configuration

<M> IPv4 NAT


I think that was the option to get it working again after upgrading to 3.7.10 for my basic ipv4 home network.
Built-in / module etc. to suit your needs.

Silly question, but did you modprobe it before trying to use it in the firewall script?

Move the old files away:
Code:
mv /lib/modules/3.7.10-gentoo{,.old}

Then recompile your kernel.

I always do this, to ensure no stale files.

Why are you using insmod instead of modprobe? Do you need NAT to be a module instead of built-in?

im not sure exactly what i did, but I finally got it working

I think the option in the kernel that did it was

Code:
       
                   <*> IPv4 connection tracking support (required for NAT)                                                           
                    [*]   proc/sysctl compatibility with old connection tracking             <----this right here                                     
                  <M> IP Userspace queueing via NETLINK (OBSOLETE)                                                                     
                  <*> IP tables support (required for filtering/masq/NAT)                                                                 
                   <M>   "ah" match support                                         


also, I selected
IPv4 NAT and MASQUERADE target support
as compiled in instead of modules..
anyway, im back in business again!

I ran into exactly the same issue last week. I don't use masquerade nor NAT rules in my IP tables so I'm not sure why it's complaining when trying to restore the IP tables after a reboot.

I've done the same and included CONFIG_NF_NAT=y which "fixed" my issue.
