Well, in my current working set of the net-tools i have a ipfw which now
should support all the features of 1.3.5x. I have put it in

ftp.inka.de:/pub/comp/Linux/networking/net-tools/testing/
net-tools-1.3.50-BETA6b.tar.gz

The man page is wrong, and the nls entries are incomplete. The ipfw compiled
with 1.3.x Kernels will not run on 1.2.x Kernels, have ti fix that. But I
like to hear about the new features. Bug Reports to net-tools@lina.inka.de
are welcome.

Greetings
Bernd
