    Are you sure you didn't miss enabling netfilter ? There's a
    hard to see sub-menu specific to netfilter in which you have to
    check which specific functions you want to enable. Using "make
    menuconfig", it's not sufficient to just check "Network packet
    filtering (replaces ipchains)", you have to jump some lines down
    and go into "IP: Netfilter Configuration".

    Got bitten by that yesterday :-) If this is the case, when you
    run iptables, it should complain about not being able to find
    its modules, but maybe you don't see that if it's at boot-time.
