Modules build is decoupled from header files produced by config(8) except
for opt_global.h, and this one doesn't have firewall options.  If you
need firewall with divert(4) sockets, you have to compile it statically
into your kernel.

Alternatively, you can compile your kernel with ``options IPDIVERT''
and compile the ipfw module with ipdivert support by modifying the
src/sys/modules/ipfw/Makefile to add -DIPDIVERT to CFLAGS.
