Stable,

	Something is defiantly broke with the latest source regarding NATD and
IPFW, I took my old source from Aug 18, 98 and rebuilt my system. NATD /
IPFW work fine. I did not have a chance to try any other cards, I just
have the Intel 10/100 Etherexpress NIC, I doubt there is a problem with
fxp driver though because everything else works fine. If someone has the
balls to cvsup to the latest source and is running natd please let me
know if you have better successes. netstat -i shows the packets are
coming in but NATD in verbose mode is not showing the traffic.

Review.

Sep 18
1. cvsup; make world; make install; recompiled and installed the kernel
natd failed;

Sep 19
2. cvsup; make world; make install; recompiled and installed the kernel,
natd failed;

Sep 19
3. rm -rf /usr/src; installed old source from Aug 18; make world; make
install; recompiled and installed the kernel, natd is working;



Thanks for your help,
