Me too. I went looking for ipfwadm.o in net. Nope, it's in misc.
What about af_packet.o? That's in misc too.

It makes some sort of sense: net/ seems to contain network *device*
drivers. This now includes ppp (but it didn't before).

And why isn't there a sound directory? Etc.

If there must be directories, IMO "video" and "sound" should have
priority over "ieee1394".

have a nice day,
