I tried loadin the ipfw.ko kernel module with kldload and it did not seem
to have the IPDIVERT ability.  I even went to /dev and ran...

sh MAKDEV ipl

It did not allow me to do that divert rule.  I may be mistaken.  I will
have to reboot my PC into FreeBSD and boot up with the default kernel to
find out.  I will post what I find to the list.
