IPFW and NAT woes on 8-STABLE

[Jonathan Chen]

So,

I decided to csup my sources from Jan 18 2010 to something more recent
this weekend; but when I completed the upgrade, my IPFW and NAT
configuration didn't work anymore. I spent the better part of the day
making sure that:

1. the upgrade was correct
2. my hardware was good.

When I finally managed to revert the system source back to an earlier
snapshot (hard to do when I had no connectivity to the 'Net), my
configuration started working again. Has anyone else had the same
problem as I've been having, or did I just get the code at a bad time?

Cheers.

There's a long thread about this on the freebsd-ipfw list. See the archives
for all the details.
