   In the 2.4.14 kernel, I get the following dependency problems with ipchains.o:
   
   [root@TekTih root]# depmod -ae
   depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.14+ext3/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipchains.o
   depmod: netlink_kernel_create
   depmod: netlink_broadcast
   
   Note that this happens regardless of the setting of CONFIG_NETLINK and
   CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV, whether "n", "m" or "y".

Something is wrong with your modutils then.

Because net/netsyms.c exports netlink_kernel_create when
CONFIG_NETLINK is set. It is impossible for the symbol to be
unresolved if you are turning on CONFIG_NETLINK.

Franks a lot,
