As near as I have been able to tell, the ipfw ioctl's changed between the two, causing ipfw to fail and not put in place the allow all rules needed to counter the default policy - thus no network. Is my interpretation of this correct? Should I just install 2.2.5 ipfw? (I'm going to make installworld after I get the kernel in, but based on past experience I want to do those two seperately.) Will the 2.2.5 ipfw work with a 2.2.2 kernel at all?
