1) This is simply not true. Maybe you meant the netfilter core?
2) This doesn't have anything to do with the current thread.

I really don't get what you were trying to say... network devices should
still be labeled the same, and only a few kernel modules change name now
and then (Realtek 8139 would be a good example), but overall firewalling
hasn't changed as much from 2.4 to 2.6 kernels as it had from 2.2 to 2.4
when netfilter/iptables was introduced.
