I have not been able to get ipfilter working on a system and
it is because I don't have INET6 in my custom kernel, and therefore
the system cannot load the ipl.ko module.  Here is the issue:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=70401

Can someone help me understand this following fix?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fix:
Tweak around USE_INET6 option in /sys/contrib/ipfilter/netinet/ip_compat.h
to cover the case when there is no INET6 in the kernel and ipfilter is
loaded as KLD.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Or should I just go back and compile the GENERIC kernel?  There is no
problem running the GENERIC kernel from what I can tell.
This is a production system, so compiling the kernel makes me nervous.

Would I simply do this?:

# cd /usr/src
# make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC
# make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC

then reboot and that is all right?

Thanks,
Andy
