What is the order of operations on a FreeBSD machine using ipfw when sniffing packets with Ethereal? It appears that Ethereal is showing me packets *before* they are inspected by the firewall. My firewall logging shows the packets in question being dropped, but Ethereal shows them in the capture. Is there a way to sniff the packets *after* the have traversed the firewall rules? 

Thanks,

Aron
