I recently picked up a WatchGuard FireBox V80 from someone who had given up 
on their expensive support. I popped the case and it appeared to be a x86 
based mini-pc with a custom 4-port PCI ethernet card. It boots off CF, so I 
figured I'd see what happened if I tried to boot it off a m0nowall image. 
Initial boots were spotty, with semi-random crashes with errors such as 
"Fatal trap 1: privileged instruction fault while in kernel mode", "Fatal 
trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode", "Fatal trap 9: general protection 
fault while in kernel mode", and "Fatal double fault:". Rarely the same 
error twice in a row.

First things first, slim down. I removed the 4-port PCI network card. Boot 
errors went away. It appears to recognize the dual ethernet ports on the MB, 
so I have a nice m0nowall based firewall now.

It would be nice to have those additional 4 ports though. Has anyone ever 
encountered the "4-PORT Rapidcard_SBC" PCI ethernet controller that is 
inside the WatchGuard FireBox V80? I tried dropping it into a FreeBSD 
5-STABLE box with a GENERIC kernel and it failed to be detected properly. I 
can post pictures if anyone is curious as to what it looks like.

If this card is completely unworkable due to being custom built for 
WatchGuard, can anyone suggest a decent multi-port PCI ethernet controller 
that works with m0n0wall?
