Here is what /var/log/messages say during boot:
Jan 14 08:47:31 casa kernel: eth0: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet at
0xd8428000, 00:40:ca:99:f1:fe, IRQ 10

Until then, no nat. (it was connected anyway)
Then, iptables restart and
Jan 14 09:10:24 casa iptables:  succeeded
Jan 14 09:10:24 casa last message repeated 2 times

Yes, it is.

The relevant part of it is:

*filter
(close everything, opens what I want, etc)

This first commit may be the culprit. But this does not explain why it
worked until now, and why it works after restarted and does not before.

Yes, it loads ok.

The weird is, no changes were made on this - as you can see, since june
28 2003... I'm still confused.
