Full NAT 2.6.32.2 2.6.38

I want to enable a 64M mini2440 to allow it to act as a bridge between a
USB wireless modem and another PC connected to the ethernet port.

I have been told that I need to enable <Full NAT> in the kernel, re-compile
and then install iptables

After bringing in config_mini2440_n35 from 2.6.32.2 (Sept version) I have
the options:

Networking support --->
   Networking options --->
      Networking packet filtering framework (Netfilter) --->
         IP: Netfilter Configuration --->
            IP tables support (required for filtering/masq/NAT) (NEW)
then nothing else.

If I check in 2.6.38, before running mini2440_defconfig
   IP: Netfilter Configuration --->
      <> IPv4 connection tracking support (required for NAT)
      <> Full NAT  

Running mini2440_defconfig BEFORE menuconfig gives me:
   IP: Netfilter Configuration --->
      <> IP tables support (required for filtering/masq/NAT)
then nothing else.

This seems to be trying to tell me that I can't have Full NAT on the
mini2440.

Could anyone shed light on this issue?

Thanks,
Dave
