 Shortly after this PR was submitted, it was determined that the
 problem report was based on this message ["IP packet filtering
 initialized, divert disabled, rule-based forwarding enabled, default
 to deny, logging disabled"] which is issued by the load of the ipfw
 loadable module when not compiled into the kernel.
 Upon ignoring intended meaning of said message, testing verified
 ipfw loadable module, does include logging code which only needs
 rc.conf statements to activate and enable.
 Conclusion: Message issued when ipfw loadable module is enabled
 is worded inaccurately. Message should be reworded to more clearly
 state status. Message that states that options are disabled imply
 those options where not compiled into the ipfw loadable module,
 which testing has proven to not be true.
