problems with connlimit extension
Hello.

I have problems with connlimit module. I've got properly configured,
patched and compiled kernel 2.6.21.5 and iptables 1.3.8.
patch-o-matic-ng-20070713 was used.

The module ipt_connlimit is loaded properly, but iptables still can't
create any rules with it.

# modprobe ipt_connlimit

# lsmod | grep connlimit
ipt_connlimit 4352 0
nf_conntrack 59656 5
iptable_nat,nf_nat,xt_state,ipt_connlimit,nf_conntrack_ipv4
x_tables 15620 10
ipt_set,xt_tcpudp,iptable_nat,xt_pkttype,xt_state,xt_multiport,
xt_limit,ipt_REJECT,ipt_connlimit,ip_tables

# iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -p tcp --syn \
-m connlimit --connlimit-above 64 -j DROP
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name

I think I've found the reason. This is one of many bugs related to a
goddamn ipt_ -> xt_ renaming.
