Hi,

   The old ISA NIC (Network Interface Card) probably has a boot prom on it.
That is probably where the network boot question is coming from. You
probably dont need it.

   I just configured a bridging firewall using FreeBSD 4.5. Works great as
long as the NIC's are capable of being placed in promiscuous mode. I wouldnt
bet folding money on that ISA NIC being able to do that.

   You will need to configure the kernel for ipfw, etc. And check man 4
bridge. There are some snmp sysctl values that need setting.

Jim
