[mpls-linux-general] iproute2 and iptables installation with kernel 2.6

[Itrat R. Q. <iq...@cc...>]

Hello,
 
I have upgraded the kernel to 2.6. I have installed the src rpm for
iptables-1.2.9 but when i try to install iptables-1.2.9*.i386.rpm I get a
failed dependency error like "kernel >= 2.4.20 is needed by
iptables-1.2.9*spec_nh1". Also once the rpm packages are installed can I
directly start using iproute and iptables commands associated with mpls as
I previously used binaries to compile them. Also can you kindly tell me
the exact versions of iptables and iproute2 to use in case I want to patch
them and compile them manually.
