Bug ID: 295395
Summary: ipfw: hard dependency on inet despite supporting both
ip famillies
Product: Base System
Version: 15.0-RELEASE
Hardware: amd64
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: kern
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
I have come across an issue on a kernel built without INET where ipfw has a
hard dependency on it.
Kernel configuration:
include GENERIC
ident GENERIC-IPV6-ONLY
makeoptions MKMODULESENV+="WITHOUT_INET_SUPPORT="
nooptions INET
nodevice gre
Building ipfw manually and loading it yields the following in dmesg:
link_elf_obj: symbol ip_reass undefined
That means that systems which don't have ipv6-only capabilities are not able to
utilize ipfw to filter traffic.
I believe that ipfw should have a soft dependency on inet and spew errors when
trying to use inet rules when the module is not available.
