Argh, point recieved and understood. That, is a nasty habit of mine, I
don't RTFM on things that I believe I understand. I made the rather false
assumption that anything in /etc/defaults/rc.conf would not require any
special kernel modifications, even linux_enable loads the module for you.
I still believe it's worth documenting in defaults/rc.conf though, I can't
be the only one bitten by this confusing thing.

Nor have I, I just find it easier to maintain personally. To be honest,
low level kernel and tcp/ip functions are far beyond my skill and
knowledge at the moment, but I'm learning.
