No extra patches, it's the vanilla 2.6.2rc2 kernel. I'm running a
nonmodular kernel and have spent this morning recompiling it with
different options - the problem is only showing up when CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT
is turned on, so I'm guessing that you are using a modular kernel and
since you haven't set up any rules in the nat table, the module isn't
loaded - try modprobing it and seeing if that helps.
