Description Nik Clayton 2003-10-18 13:50:21 UTC 
The Handbook's section on enabling ipfw (10.8.3) doesn't mention it's
kldload'ness, just that a kernel recompile is necessary.  Since rc.conf
will load ipfw.ko on demand, this deserves a mention (along with necessary 
anti-foot shooting incantations to avoid looking yourself out of the box).

I'll take this one, it meshes a little bit with an older PR I was 
looking at regarding IPFW in the advanced networking section.

Hi Nik,

I've done some work on this PR and I've included a patch in this email.
If it's not quite right, or you would like something added or changed,
I'd be more than willing to help, so please let me know.

Thanks,
Marc

This PR [1] can be closed. kldload'ness of ipfw is in 24.6.1 Enabling IPFW
[2].

Cheers!
