Synopsis: Is 2.2.7:ipfw not working with 2.2.stable kernel a bug?

State-Changed-From-To: open-closed
State-Changed-By: des
State-Changed-When: Fri Sep 25 17:52:30 PDT 1998
State-Changed-Why: 
It's not a bug. The introduction of dummynet and the skipto feature broke
binary compatibility, which means you need to rebuild your kernel (if you
have an old ipfw) or ipfw (if you have an old kernel). It's annoying, but
at least partly justified by the added functionality.

Requests for further information concerning dummynet and skipto should be
addressed to Luigi Rizzo (luigi@iet.unipi.it)
