I have performed quite a few m0n0wall installs, and have never seen the "auto detect" actually work, no matter what network cards I have had in the machines. If anyone here has actually had an "auto detect" find their NIC, please let us know. I have a funny feeling this feature is broken, and if so, we may as well ask Manuel to remove it from the options - if it never works, then why have it there to confuse people? > However all works like a charm now.

There are quite a few SmoothWall converts on this list, and a lot more not on this list. With the built-in Telstra BigPond Cable authentication client, m0n0wall has great potential in the Australian broadband market. I'm just waiting for 1.1 to go "gold" before I mention m0n0wall to a few local computer magazines. > Now... where's the pretty traffic graph images? Pretty or not, I can see comprehensive traffic graphing being a useful plugin for many people. Of course, the sexier the better. :) -- Regards, Hilton Travis Phone: +61-(0)7-3343-3889 Manager, Mobile: +61 (0)419 792 394 Quark IT http://www.QuarkIT.com.au/ Quark AudioVisual http://www.QuarkAV.net/ (Brisbane, Australia) Network Administration, SmoothWall Firewalls, NOD32 AntiVirus Non Linear Video Editing Solutions & Digital Audio Workstations Conference and Seminar AudioVisual Production and Recording War doesn't determine who is right.
