So I was helping a buddy set up his UV3800 as a NAT box for his home,
and found out something annoying. Seems ipfilter (and as such, ipnat)
isn't compiled into the GENERIC kernel. For that matter, it isn't even
listed as an option in the GENERIC config file. I've added in
pseudo-device ipfilter, and am currently compiling a kernel, to see if
it will still work or not.

I seem to remember my old VAX having support for NAT somewhere around
1.4, but I could be wrong. Is there a reason why IPFilter isn't included
in GENERIC? Does it not work? I noticed the caveat about BPF not working
with de0, but that doesn't mean (I assume) that it won't work with qe,
or le, or what have you.

Please get back to me if I am wrong. Thanks!
