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.
