I've posted a similar request a while ago on fedora-list and got no answer at all - I suppose it might fit better in here.
No, the first half of your message is a user question and suitable for fedora-list.
Some days ago I received, from fedora-announce, info on updated iptables 1.2.9-1.0. That'd be
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2004-February/msg00004.h...
It happens that the announcement mentioned a new config option (IPTABLES_MODULES_UNLOAD), so I went to iptables.org in order to learn some more about it.
Why? It's a feature specific to Red Hat's integration of iptables into the system. Actually, this new option is very good because unloading netfilter connection tracking modules can still lock up. Even in kernel 2.6 it seems. For me it's 100% reproducible with <= Fedora Core 1 kernel on rh73, but also Red Hat Linux 9 (IIRC).
