IPFW2 is the next version of the IPFW software. IPFW2 is the standard
version of IPFW in 5-CURRENT, but changes to the configuration were so
significant that it would have violated POLA to MFC it to 4-STABLE.
Instead it was made a compile time option. It was added to 4-STABLE
on 23 July (after the RELENG_4_6 branch was created), so it is in
recent -STABLE and will be in 4.7-RELEASE.
To enable, add:
options IPFW2
to your kernel config (together with the other options to enable
IPFW), and add:
IPFW2= TRUE
to /etc/make.conf

Works perfectly for me, worth installing just for the "keepalives" feature.
Cheers,
