You won't see much about ipfilter outside of *BSD and Solaris - the
patches haven't been updated since 2.0.34 or so (early 1998!).

Mostly because almost no one uses, and is interested in maintaining (it
seems like) ipfilter on Linux. Linux has it's own firewalling/NAT setup
(ipfwadm/ipmasqadm on 2.0.x, ipchains on 2.2.x, and netfilter in
2.3.x/2.4.x).
