I didn't find "IPFILTER" in either the GENERIC or NOTES kernel files, so =
no, I didn't compile it in.  I was wondering about it, though, based on =
older kernel help messages I found on the net (> 10 years old).

I'll give both of those options a try.  Thanks!

Did you load the modules?
ipl_load=3D"YES" in /boot/loader.conf and reboot OR
kldload ipl

If you did not compile IPFILTER in the kernel, then you must load the =
module.
