Looks like loading dummynet.ko via /boot/loader.conf doesn't work because dummynet.ko depends on dummynet.ko but of the different version. There are even more strange things: 1) dummynet.ko declares itself as version 1: /sys/netinet/ipfw/ip_dummynet.c: MODULE_VERSION(dummynet, 1); 2) dummynet.ko compiles into itself the various schedulers: fifo, prio, rr, etc; 3) these schedulers presumably think they are compiled standalone, so they are explicitly and strongly depend on dummynet of version 3 (why?): /sys/netinet/ipfw/dn_sched.h: MODULE_DEPEND(name, dummynet, 3, 3, 3); * That makes loader to error like "dummynet: loading required module 'dummynet'". and, if loading dummynet.ko in loader prompt manually, then "module 'dummynet' exists but with wrong version"] This shall fix the problem: rebuilding only dummynet should be enough. %%% Index: /sys/netinet/ipfw/ip_dummynet.c =================================================================== --- /sys/netinet/ipfw/ip_dummynet.c (revision 218026) +++ /sys/netinet/ipfw/ip_dummynet.c (working copy) @@ -2294,7 +2294,7 @@ #define DN_MODEV_ORD (SI_ORDER_ANY - 128) /* after ipfw */ DECLARE_MODULE(dummynet, dummynet_mod, DN_SI_SUB, DN_MODEV_ORD); MODULE_DEPEND(dummynet, ipfw, 2, 2, 2); -MODULE_VERSION(dummynet, 1); +MODULE_VERSION(dummynet, 3); /* * Starting up.
