It doesn't have a wireless card in it, but if you need help with the firewall rules I might be able to help. I used fwbuilder to create it. I had lots of trouble with it when I used one of the built-in templates to create my firewall. (Maybe a bug, maybe my mistakes).
When I created a firewall from scratch, it worked great. I used some of the templates as examples, but I did not build my firewall from a template. -Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
