Hello,

I have written a Network Kernel Extension (NKE) with an IP filter. How
can I make sure that the filter sees the very first IP packet
processed by the operating system right after the system starts up? I
tried to launch the NKE with launchd, but it sometimes misses the very
first IP packet (it's a IPv6 Router Advertisement). The operating
system processes it without my IP filter seeing it.

Any suggestions on how to launch a NKE before the operating system
starts to process IP packets?

Thanks a lot!
