[Discuss] iptables trouble

[agabrielson1 at comcast.net (Dr. Anthony Gabrielson)]

Hello,
	I'm trying to get iptables working on a Raspberry Pi running Kali and I keep getting the same error.  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).

This is the error I am getting:
root at kali:~# iptables -L
iptables v1.4.14: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

I think I have all of the modules I need:
root at kali:~# lsmod

Any ideas?
