As everyone said, add the "bpfilter" line to a config file,
rebuild the new kernel with this new config file,
install the new kernel as /kernel (make install),
and, lastly, reboot your system to start the new kernel!
See "Configuring the FreeBSD Kernel" in the Handbook for more info.
(Ahhh, a new FreeBSD homepage, nice.)

This is a FAQ but I don't see it in the FreeBSD FAQ.
Can someone add it?

Mike
