>Description:
document only informs 4.x users to add ipfw2 support for kernel.
man ipfw explains that world need to change also in order to use ipfw2.
a few days ago, i added options IPFW2 to my kernel and rebuilt.
ipfw show produce core and i can not use any of such x application as
galeon or mozilla. my instincs tell me that i need to read manpage
of ipfw and there under section USING IPPF2 IN FreeBSD-STABLE in
the first paragraph says
ipfw2 is standard in FreeBSD CURRENT, whereas FreeBSD STABLE still
+uses
ipfw1 unless the kernel is compiled with options IPFW2, and /sbin/ipfw
and /usr/lib/libalias are recompiled with -DIPFW2 and reinstalled (the
same effect can be achieved by adding IPFW2=TRUE to /etc/make.conf
+before
a buildworld).
i do not want anyone else to repeat my errors.
sorry for my poor english.
