Looked at that today and I might be able to get something going. I tried 
to use the ng_echo node in a module. The code looked something like this:
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/module.h>
#include <sys/kernel.h>
#include <sys/systm.h>
#include <sys/mbuf.h>

#include <netgraph/ng_message.h>
#include <netgraph/netgraph.h>
#include <netgraph/ng_echo.h>

extern struct ng_type typestruct;

static int event_handler(struct module *module, int event, void *arg) {
         int e = 0; /* Error, 0 for normal return status */
         switch (event) {
         case MOD_LOAD:
                 uprintf("Hello Free Software Magazine Readers! \n");
                 ng_newtype(&typestruct);
                 break;
         case MOD_UNLOAD:
                 uprintf("Bye Bye FSM reader, be sure to check 
http://freesoftwar
emagazine.com !\n");
                 break;
         default:
                 e = EOPNOTSUPP; /* Error, Operation Not Supported */
                 break;
         }

         return(e);
}

/* The second argument of DECLARE_MODULE. */
static moduledata_t hello_conf = {
     "hello_fsm",    /* module name */
      event_handler,  /* event handler */
      NULL            /* extra data */
};

DECLARE_MODULE(hello_fsm, hello_conf, SI_SUB_DRIVERS, SI_ORDER_MIDDLE);

However, trying to load this module results in:

# kldload ./hello_fsm.ko
kldload: can't load ./hello_fsm.ko: No such file or directory

So to start, how can I use ng_echo in a module? According to the man 4 of 
netgraph the ng_newtype should construct a new node right? And I presume 
once I get that module running and an ng_echo module loaded, I'll try to 
communicate with it from userspace but what about the above is incorrect? 
Thanks. :)
