I have already added /etc/ifconfig.npflog0 containing a word ``create''.
It didn't solve the problem.

What I mean is ...
Back to 5.1_STABLE, I added ``lkm=YES'' to /etc/rc.conf.
It will invoke /etc/rc.lkm, which in turn reads /etc/lkm.conf.
/etc/lkm.conf instructed rc script to modload module(s) resided in /usr/lkm/.
During etcupdate from 5.1_STABLE to 6.0_STABLE, it removed these lkm contents.
All modules are moved from /usr/lkm/ to /stand/i386/6.0/modules/.

Mine are as followings.

Without MAKEDEV /dev/npf, on restart the following messages appear.

Configuring network interfaces: pcn0.
...
Enabling NPF.
npfctl: cannot open '/dev/npf': No such file or directory
npfctl: cannot open '/dev/npf': No such file or directory
/etc/rc.d/npf exited with code 1

Once after explicit MAKEDEV /dev/npf,

Configuring network interfaces: pcn0.
...
Enabling NPF.
/etc/npf.conf:9:1: unknown interface 'npflog0' near '}'

It only recognizes my ethernet card, pcn0, but not npflog0.

On 5.1_STABLE, I used /etc/rc.lkm as described above to avoid manual modload.
But lkm is now removed.
I believe that they are automatically modload(ed), once rc script executes.

Different warning messages, please see above.
