HEADSUP: IPv6 support added to IPFW (fwd)

[Vladimir Kotal]

IPv6 forwarding+dummynet processing won't work with this patch because 
IPv6 packet processing logic is different from IPv4. 
  (see src/share/doc/IPv6/IMPLEMENTATION, section 1.11)

You may want to incorporate my patch which updates Mariano's & Raffaele's
patch:
