It was available starting in 2.3 and hasn't been backported. 2.4test is
the latest in that series.

ipfwadm is 2.0.x
ipchains is 2.1.x and 2.2.x
iptables is 2.3.x and 2.4.x

Nick's been very happy with it and only occasionally runs into any
instability. I'll be sticking with 2.2 and ipchains on my firewalls for a
while as I never run into instabilities :).
