Not sure why you included your lsmod output but are you referring to or asking why your kernel isn't logging any iptable packets? After setting up the iptable rules, did you restart your syslogging? Did you test by attempting to connect to one of your rules you've placed and watched your log output?

Care to share what your solution was? You know others that have the same questions looking for answers might benefit from your solution.

actually I was getting kernel messages in other file rather than /var/log/messages which I came to know after having a look on my /etc/syslog.conf file.
