So what features are enhanced by the git4 patch? I realize that it kills 
the firewall (or at least causes error output when iptables is started)

Basically, is it worth pursuing the patch and making changes to get 
iptables cleanly functional or would removing the patch and waiting for 
further development and inclusion to the kernel source without patching.
