:) Given the situation, if I'd be able to provide any extra info, I'd be 
able to solve the problem myself, wouldn't I?

I'm adding IPDIVERT option ("options IPDIVERT") to config file and 
config kernel and compile kernel (alternatively -- buildkernel 
KERNCONF...) and install kernel and all's fine except that after reboot 
ipfw.ko tells that "divert is disabled" and it is, indeed, disabled, as 
natd starts but there are no divert sockets. It happens both with 
4.10-RELEASE and with 4-STABLE.

But never you mind. This time I had the luxury of being able to just 
format the partition and install system from scratch, so I did (there 
wasn't anything big installed yet). Mighty it would help me with 
populated system.
