For further investigation I added printf's to ipfw_load and ipfw_mod as
their first statement to see if they get called.  Nothing from them
though the SYSINIT should call module_register_init which should then
call ipfw_load.  So either the SYSINIT doesn't get recognized or it
might go wrong in module_register_init.  I haven't investigated that
further, yet as I first had to find out who does the SYSINIT and how.

I also modified kern_linker.c to give me debug output.  Comparing it
to what other kernel modules produce this looks normal.  Due to the
length of the logged data I don't want to append it here.  Everyone
asking for a copy can get one by private mail.

What I noticed was that during startup /etc/rc.firewall tries to
determine if there is an ipfw module loaded or something in the kernel
it sees nothing, tries to load the module and the result is that it
gets reported along the lines "module already loaded, incrementing use
counter."

So far what I got by now.

Stefan.
