>Description:
	If you attempt to unload the ipl.ko (IPFilter) module the machine
	will panic. Darren does not reccomend use of the module and so
	problems such as this are to be expected. However I am reasoning
	that if people see that there is a module for IPFilter they may
	attempt to use it. So ideally this module should not panic the
	machine when being unloaded, or alternatively not exist at all.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
	# kldload ipl.ko

>Fix:
	Unknown.
