Mr. Harald,

   Here is a patch to fix a _major_ bug in ip6_tables where if you
compile ip6_tables.o statically, but compile everything else as modules,
you can't get the module dependencies to work. It took me a while to figure
this out, since I was blaming it on ip6_conntrack, but below is a patch to
fix it.
   Please include.

Thanks,

Brad
