>Description:

When using the new ipfilter code in /etc/rc.network, ipnat
prints out some diagnostics which messes up the screen during boot.

>How-To-Repeat:

Set ipnat_enable to YES and watch screen during boot.

>Fix:

One possibility might be the following patch. It makes it possible
to use

ipnat_flags=">/dev/null"

in order to redirect the output ti /dev/null.
