I used to do that few years ago, using ip-firewall at that time instead of ipfw, I can't remember the reason why, I think it was the unavailability of layer 2 in IPFW at that time. I have switched to zeroshell since because I needed captive portal too and neither monowall nor pf sense did offer captive portal on bridged intefaces when I did the change. I am pretty sure that monowall and pfsense do offer bridged interfaces. Best regards, Olivier
