Ah you said you had kernel 2.6.28.
That is a patch for 2.6.25 kernel _only_.

   There is no patching needed for kernel 2.6.28, which is why its
listed on the wiki page as recommended minimum version.

   If so, how can we will

During normal confugure + build sequence of the kernel they should
appear somewhere in the netfilter or iptabels sections of the configure.

If you have that patch in your 2.6.28, you will need to rebuild without
any breakage it may have caused. Thats a good time to do a reconfigure
from clean kernel source.

The versions listed on the Squid wiki page are missing nothing
important. Should work with vanilla code no patches. Only a kernel and
Squid configuration settings needed during build.

Yes it is. Using the correct versions of software and not patching will
fix this issue for you.
