You need a kernel with that capability (eg bare.i).
The default BL3 does not do firewalling.

The default BL1 kernel did do firewalling.  BL1 also
included the ipfwadm executable.

That should work in BL3 if you add /sbin/ipfwadm from 
Slackware 4.0 and the bare.i kernel from Slackware 7.1.  
However, you might want use ipchains instead of ipfwadm.
It's a newer firewalling utility (for the 2.2 kernel).

Cheers,
