Adding my wlan0 interface to the firewall
Because I have a non supported WIFI card, I have to use ndiswrapper but I cannot see anyway to add it to the firewall. I tried in YAST but it loses it as soon as I reboot the laptop. I am using ndiswrapper to configure the card from boot.local. Should I be adding it before this to get it added to the firewall script? ATM, it is not a problem but I am away and will be using hotspots to access the net whilst I am away Sean -- ICQ: 679813 FidoNet: 2:263/950 Jabber: tcob1@jabber.org AOL: tcobone Vodafone Messenger: thecivvie
