self evident, IPFilter support has been compiled into your kernel and has
already been init'd. This is an older method of using ipfilter and it has
been recommended that support be loaded as a module. (Read the IPFilter
docs on how to do that). Or just add ipfilter_flags="" to ur /etc/rc.conf,
but the kernel module is recommended.

well just ensure u have the following in /etc/rc.conf
	ipfilter_enable="YES"
	ipfilter_flags=""
