ldd said nothing was needed but libc5 (for BL3)

Okay.  ipfwadm seems to work with BL1 and BL1 kernel.  I just also tried 
BL1 with the BL3 'big' kernel and 3c59x.o, then BL3 with ipfwadm from BL1, 
both of which gave me setsockopt faile:  Invalid argument.

For ipfwadm it was lowercase deny.

ifpwadm told me to do this too, without the "1" - are those needed around 
a single character?
