Description Ben 2017-05-11 16:38:27 UTC 
I've been using freebsd-update to manage my system updates on multiple systems, physical and virtual, and today noticed that ipfw is not functioning. I've tried rebooting my systems but am still unable to get ipfw running.

Your kernel is out of sync with your modules. Something wrong went with your update.
