Subject:   Ipfw kernel reconfig necessary?

I am getting ready to convert my filtering router from Linux to FreeBSD and
I have a couple questions. According to the handbook, a kernel recompile is
needed to enable ipfw. Is this true for FreeBSD 3.4 Release? I'm assuming
its already in the kernel and I just need to set the firewall type in
/etc/rc.conf.  It looks like /etc/rc.firewall wants a firewall_type defined.
Is there any more current info other than the handbook?

If someone knows of a conversion chart or script for transitioning from
ipchains to ipfw this would also be very helpful.

Thanks,

-DL
