Hi Tom,

Thank you for the reply.   I was hoping we wouldn't have to rebuild the kernel (doh) since we use a basically abandoned version of pfSense (the pfSense team are for all their efforts and good work seemingly unable to get a new release out the door).

I agree that it was pretty dumb of the OpenBSD developers to just stomp on another protocol ID for their (and ours in FreeBSD ...) implementation.
