hey, I need to setup a firewall using briding, and I've been reading the handbook, but a few questions have poped up. First, the handbook states that not all NIC's are supported using bridging, it also states to read the bridge(4) man page, however the man page doesn't list which cards will or won't work under bridging. Is there a list of cards that will work under bridging?? Will two Intel ExtherExpress Pro/100 PCI cards work? Additionally, the hand book states that there is an option to allow non-IP packets (like ARP) to flow through the bridge. Is this something I should concern myself with, or just not bother at all. Lastly, should I use ipfw or IPFILTER (ipf). Would either one of these be an advantage for a bridge based firewall? thanks for your help Sunny Dubey To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
