Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
The cross-breed firmware, I think, includes its own kernel build.
You need to do two things :
Check that kernel's configuration (of the iptables section) ;
and
Check in the bastardized firmware image for the modules ;
(/lib/modules/kernel-version-string/sub-tree)

The firmware image needs to contain the modules from the **build of the executing kernel** - not those from some random kernel build.

The command:
uname -a
will give you the kernel version string, build number, and build date-time

modinfo full-path-and-file-name
will give you the similar information of a specific module.

Once you know which kernel is running
(The series 2.5, the series 3.x or a custom build)

Then you know which /lib/modules/ sub-tree to check

I still think you should re-install the stock 2.5.8 amazon firmware -
No reason to run the series 3.x firmware when you are using an add-in pdf reader.

As you posted, your only reason to run the series 3.x firmware was for the pdf handling, but now you are not using the series 3.x pdf handling.
