The boot file in /sbin/init.d already has this command in it. I see from the ipfwadm script that it's supposed to test for the presence of ipfwadm, and if it isn't there, then it tries to run ipchains. I'm only a little mystified as to why, when I boot kernel 2.2.5, networking doesn't work. But apparently linux is trying to run ipfwadm and it isn't working.
