Compile tests and runs ok:

xe0: <Xircom RealPort Ethernet 10/100 + Modem 56> at port 0x2e8-0x2ef irq 11 function 0 config 39 on pccard0
xe0: version 0x55/0x05, 100Mbps capable, with modem
xe0: Ethernet address: 00:10:a4:b6:0a:32
xe0: [ITHREAD]

I don't have heavy network load, but I do have 

net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
net.inet.ip.fastforwarding=1

set and it's terminating vpn connections and firewalling.
