always get "module is wrong version"

[Marc Boucher]

Hallo Marcus,

Chain names are case sensitive, and built-in ones are always all 
uppercase by convention. Try "iptables -P INPUT DROP".

Still, the error message  "module is wrong version" is bogus and
misleading in that context. We will fix that bug.

Viele Gruesse,
Marc
