Enable ipfw in ubuntu. Could not find loader.conf

I am trying to enable ipfw utility in my ubuntu 12.04. I follow the procedure on the manual pages.

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man4/ipfw.4.html

But I can not find the loader.conf file as mentioned. I tried searching the system using

sudo find / -name loader.conf

No results. Any idea on the file path.

IPFW is designed primarily for BSD systems, and I would not recommend using it for Linux systems when there are options such as iptables. On modern Ubuntu distributions, the package is no longer included and is not supported.

Having said that, disclaimer:

loader.conf /boot/loader.conf, BSD- . Linux . Ubuntu /etc/modules. , "ipfw" . ipfw ( ), .
