Here is what Juano had to say about this a while back:

mhhh... damaged mind help is ok?
The problem is that IP_AUTOFW uses the same structure (struct ip_autofw)
for internal (@kernel) use and user<->kernel setsockopt() syscalls.
The nice "struct timer_list" is never used @user level, so it should NOT
be necessary to know about it from user space.
Also ip_fw.h has some #ifdef CONFIG_xxx (even not protected by
#ifdef KERNEL), which leads to interesting results:
You will be able to compile ipfwadm if you UNconfigure IP_AUTOFW
(no more struct timer_list ...), but won't make difference if you
run a kernel with(out) IP_AUTOFW.
Anyway, the UQPw (UglyQuickPatch,whatever..) follows

Nor you need to sell your brain to anyone.
Yo can feel it. It's Linux.
