In recent 8.x you first need to kldload libalias.ko. It was broken in 8 since MFC r200636 (and still broken in head), where ipfw.ko includes ipfw_nat, which depends on libalias. I think either ipfw should un-include ipfw_nat stuff, or pollute self more and take explicit dependency on libalias. -- wbr, pluknet _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
