This is as a direct consequence of compiling IPFW into the kernel .. it
can't receive packets from its own ethernet interface !
If you ^C your way to a shell prompt, there's a single rule that's in the
firewall list saying "deny all from any to any". Courtesy of the same recent
brain-damage in ipfw(8), you can't delete this rule either ("setsockopt
failed").
I suspect the very same problem in -current.
The only workaround I can think of is to add "ipfw addf accept .."
statements _prior_ to the running of ifconfig in netstart .. theory as yet
untested ..
