I am a bit confused because in the another thread (also created by
Jon Otterholm) you've answered that
-----
The only way that you will be able to filter ARP packets is by setting
pfil_onlyip=0, ipfw=1 and use the IPFW layer2 filtering.

citing the same code. Am I understand something incorrectly or these
two answers do contradict with each other?
