I still have SuSE 9.1, and I don't know if things have changed that much in 9.2. But in 9.1 that syntax would be incorrect: it expects devices names like "eth0", "ppp0", "ippp1", "tr0", "auto", etc.
Depending on where device is mapped to. If you know your ethernet-id you can check this via ifconfig and look which devices are listed. Above syntax is for kernel 2.6 and it's provided iptables and is generated by yast.
Both syntaxes are allowed, but sometimes by using similar or same cards kernel switches devices after reboot. For that you have to set kerneloptions at module loadtime via /etc/modules.conf or the new modules.conf-file provided with kernel 2.6.
Mmm. Interesting. But the "/etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2" file comments don't mention that in SuSE 9.1, and it uses kernel 2.6. What about SuSE 9.2, is this new syntax mentioned on the firewall file? -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
