I showed the path for the latest FC2 kernel. Yes, updating the kernel
would be good: up2date-nox -u -f

Right, in most cases needed modules are loaded automagically. Speaking
about the iptables modules this is doing when the iptables service is
started at boot time.
Btw. the modules have the ".ko" suffix because you are running a 2.6
kernel. This suffix changed from 2.4 kernel, where it was ".o".
