You've not told us what version of NetBSD you're using. That's
important information.
(It's also important that your ipfilter-related userland bits closely
match the vintage of your kernel. i.e. if you're running a 1.4.2
kernel, you _need_ to be using 1.4.2 ipfilter-related bits. 1.4.1 or
1.4 likely won't work. Ipfilter is ... not so good about backward
compatiblity. *sigh*)
