Hello
Since the r205511 commit to 8-Stable my kernel can't load ipfw.ko any
more. The error message in dmsg is:
kernel: link_elf_obj: symbol ipfw_dyn_attach undefined
kernel: linker_load_file: Unsupported file type
A quick Google search for the first line brings up this message from
last December
(http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-ipfw@freebsd.org/msg02276.html):

Is it possible that there is the same issue with this commit?

If I compile IPFW into the kernel everything works fine.
Thanks,
