 I must have been using the module with 4.7 stable since I did not
 have that in the kernel I was running with 4.7. After I upgraded to
 4.11 and IPF was not working I edited my kernel config file to
 uncomment the lines for IPF and then compiled the new kernel. I still
 don't have an answer why this happened.

Was the module taken out of 4.11 or an earlier version on FreeBSD?

No, it's still there as long as you build modules. If you have NO_MODULES in your make.conf, you won't, of course.

I'm using the same /etc/make.conf file when I first put this box online in 2002. In that make.conf
file the line is commented out:


#NO_MODULES=    true    # do not build modules with the kernel

But the question for me is still, how did this work in 4.7 if the above was commented out in my /etc/make.conf file and I did not have these uncommented in my kernel config file when I built my
custom kernel for 4.7?


options         IPFILTER
options         IPFILTER_LOG

Thanks,
Jim
