I bet you enabled the new transport-agnostic netfilter, and didn't enable some of the actual rules needed for your iptables setup (they have new config names).
I do think that the netfilter team has been very irritating in changing the config names, even if it "is logical".
Somebody should stop the madness, and tell people what config options they need for a regular iptables setup like this. Rather than say "just compile everything". There's about a million different filters, and they all depend on one infrastructure or another.
And then the networking people should F*NG STOP that config name changing madness! The config names should match the _usage_, not some implementation detail. And failing that, leave the config options named something illogical, as long as people don't have to change their config file all the time and answer millions of questions that they don't care about!
