Hi,

In the 4.x kernel, ipfilter was hardcoded before ipfw in the ip_input(). 
However, in the 5.x kernel, they register themselve to the pfil hook. As 
there isn't a priority number during the hook up, looks like who ever 
register first get to filter the packet first.

In case I want to preserve the 4.x behaviour of ipf before ipfw in the 
input path, how do I reliable achieve that.

Regards,
Ming
