Most of Netgraph changes were merged to RELENG_6. ng_nat changes were merged 3 months ago. Latest ng_car is not merged, but for FreeBSD 5-6.x it is present as net/ng_car port. Latest 4.3 and 5.0 mpd are able to determine actual system capabilities at the build time. To have ng_car support on FreeBSD 5-6.x you should install mpd from ports with setting ng_car checkbox. -- Alexander Motin
