According to the tree at
<http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.25.y.git;a=tree;f=net/ipv4/netfilter;h=72d3e0f1788a138b2fad12fa5bf78c86197e7a00;hb=1420f09c0b8a88f9df2034e6ba04fcc4c3f6925e>,
/net/ipv4/netfilter/ in 2.6.25.1 contains BOTH ipt_ecn.c and
ipt_ECN.c.  If you're missing one of them, it may have gotten
wiped out by a case-insensitive archive tool or filesystem.

It doesn't look like any ECN lines in the Makefile have changed in
the past year or so, so if it contained such a gross error I would
have to hope that would be plenty of time for it to be caught.
