I use IPFW with stateful rules on a cable connection without problem. 
I've tested them to confirm that they keep state and respond appropriately 
to packets. I haven't been able to find a mention of a problem with 
stateful rules in the archives, except for problems using advanced stateful 
rules with a divert rule. The original poster isn't using either, so 
that shouldn't be causing a problem for him.
