thanks, applied with fuzz (as always!)
at least it made me do a long-overdue kernel recompile with FreeBSD
partition support :-/

one small problem with these ECN modules however... i cannot unload
them! even when i have cleared my iptables chain list and all other
clean-able modules, i am unable to unload these kernel modules (which in
turn blocks me from unloading mangle, etc etc). On the same lines i have
always had trouble unloading the modules ipt_state and ip_conntrack.
ipt_state does not work with 'modprobe -r', but is OK with rmmod,
ip_conntrack however i have never been able to unload. the only other
network modules i ever have loaded are: af_packet, 8139too and mii.

thankyou again so much!
