Problems with ipfw/natd and axe(4)

Hi YongHyeon,

Without natd this seems to work fine (both on RELEASE and CURRENT).
Both my Hong-Kong no-name and Edimax EU-4208 seem to behave the same.

This works with natd on RELEASE as well, but just for a limited time.
I've yet to establish if it's time or #packets that cause the
processing to stop. I'll try to generate some tcpdump output and
compare working / non-working connected to NIC with txcsum/rxcsum
disabled.

Any pointers how to dig deeper?

Kind regards,

Spil.
