iptables and comments [SOLVED]

[cwr]

I've been trying to use the iptables '-m comment --comment "This is a comment"'
setup to annotate some iptables rules, but although loading rules with such comments
doesn't give an error, the rules fail (and the comments don't seem to persist).

Comments seem to be part of the standard iptables setup, not xtables-addons,
but I can't find a comment module anywhere in the kernel config file. Does anyone
know the module's name, or how comments can be installed?

Thanks - Will

It's in the kernel:

Thanks - although iptables work, it looks as if that netfilter section is switched off,
so the option doesn't appear. I'll take a look at it.
