What about /lkm/ipfw_mod.o? Should I upgrade the lkms immediately with kernel or wait until I make world? Does 2.2.5 ipfw use the lkm? It strikes me as a little odd that the lkms are not included in the kernel tree; wouldn't it make more sense to have perhaps /sys/lkm? I'm sure there's a good reason why not, but I don't see what it is. Alex, thank you for your help.
