I've run out of ideas and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction so I can get this working.  It originally seemed like the Kali kernel left a few modules off so I custom baked a kernel and I went out of my way to try to include everything needed at least as a module.  I have a .config difference and it is long, so I will leave it off this email (at least for the time being).

 CONFIG_NETFILTER in the kernel build should be Y or M.

iptable_filter needs to be loaded.
