unfortnately i cant muster for than a "huh" after reading it. I have a 2.6 kernel and is says, I need to do this
For Linux 2.6.x: You must enable (as a module "M" or compiled-in "Y") the following features in your kernel:
* "Device Drivers / Networking support / Universal TUN/TAP device driver support" (CONFIG_TUN)
* "Device Drivers / Networking support / Networking Options / Network Packet Filtering (replaces ipchains) / IP: Netfilter Configuration / Connection tracking (required for masq/NAT)" (CONFIG_IP_NF_CONNTRACK)
* "Device Drivers / Networking support / Networking Options / Network Packet Filtering (replaces ipchains) / IP: Netfilter Configuration / IP tables support (required for filtering/masq/NAT)" (CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES)
* "Device Drivers / Networking support / Networking Options / Network Packet Filtering (replaces ipchains) / IP: Netfilter Configuration / MASQUERADE target support" (CONFIG_IP_NF_MASQUERADE)
How who what where?
I hope this makes sence to someone out there

I would hazard a guess all of those kernel configuration elements have already
been enabled and are included in the kernel you're now using.
You may confirm this by checking for the specific CONFIG_xxxxx strings in the
kernel config file used to build your kernel (you'll find it in the /boot dir).
