> As temporary workaround, you still can disable fast forwarding path:

> - add dummy security policy:

> printf "flush;\nspdflush;\n\nspdadd 100.64.0.1/32 100.64.0.2/32 esp -P out none;\n" > /etc/ipsec.conf

- finally, do: echo ipsec_enable=YES >> /etc/rc.conf

> It does nothing but prevents a kernel from using fast forwarding path for 11.2
