>Description:

	Something appears to be wrong with the module dependencies of
	npf.kmod but the details are unclear:

> Fix npf crash in kernels without "pseudo-device bpfilter".

>How-To-Repeat:

	1. build a kernel without `pseudo-device bpfilter'
	2. load npf.kmod

>Fix:

	First: The symptom should be documented so if anyone has
	stumbled upon it, they can find the symptom and learn that it
	is fixed now.

	Second: The dependencies of npf, and perhaps of bpf, should be
	clarified, if not also fixed.
