Hi, I noticed that IPFW as a built in kernel options quietly doesn't
seem to work,
no compile errors, but the resultant kernel passes evrything and does
not appear
to contain ipfw funtionality.

ipfw -a l returns
ipfw: getsockopt(IP_FW_GET): Protocol not available.


kldload ipfw and it all works fine.
Is the intention for it to longer be a available except as a kld
module ?

Thankyou for any feedback.
