Actually, little more than the correct rules are necessary.  I've got three
firewalls all running 2.4.5 kernels and I haven't needed to apply any
special patches or explicitly load any special modules (although, I'm sure
modules are loading for this).  Perhaps if you can be more specific about
how it doesn't work, or what error messages you are getting we may be able
to help.
