I don't know but for some reason it is working. I tried this:
1.) Use "ifconfig pppoe0 down" and "ifconfig pppoe0 destroy" to delete
my PPPoE interface.
2.) I stopped and started IP Filter.
3.) I recreated and configured "pppoe0".
4.) I verified that the IP Filter rules are *not* working on "pppoe0".
5.) I started "ipf -y".
6.) I verified that the IP Filter rules are working on "pppoe0".
I've tried that before the change to "baserc/etc/rc.d/network" and I tried
it again a minute ago. It worked both times. My guess is that opening
the device triggers the magic.
Kind regards
