+TIME patch support
+CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_TIME
+  This option adds a `time' match, which allows you
+  to matchbased on the packet arrival time
+  (arrival time at the machine which the netfilter is running on) or
+  departure time (for locally generated packets).
+
+  If you say Y here, try iptables -m time --help for more information.
