Subject:   5.0-R: no network connectivity with generic kernel and firewall_enable="YES"

Hi,

I couldn't connect to anything on the network with my 5.0-RELEASE, with
the generic kernel and rc.conf containing

    firewall_enable="YES"
    natd_interface="fxp0"
    natd_interface="fxp0"
    natd_flags="-t 255.255.255.255"

The firewall loaded ok but natd silently vanished.  When I tried to
start natd manually it complained about divert being an unknown
protocol.

It seems ipfw can be loaded as a module but divert needs to be compiled
into the kernel.  Should this be documented, e.g. by a prominent comment
in defaults/rc.conf, right by the side of firewall_enable?

Georg.
