Not using ipfw by myself, but according to the handbook, the modules are loaded automatically, when editing rc.conf to load the firewall: Quote: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IPFW is included in the basic FreeBSD install as a run time loadable module. The system will dynamically load the kernel module when rc.conf contains the statement firewall_enable="YES". After rebooting the system, the following white highlighted message is displayed on the screen as part of the boot process: ipfw2 initialized, divert disabled, rule-based forwarding disabled, default to deny, logging disabled ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Source: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/firewalls-ipfw.html Greets, Andreas
