Hi,
I'm unable to load the ipfw module in 8.2-PRELEASE. i think
this may be due to ABI changes at the kernel level. ,

could there be a more precise explanation?
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.
Thanks that fixed it. I recall having tried to manually load
libalias.ko but after a
full buildworld it works fine.
