ADSL firewall solutions? (was Re: [nzlug] IPCop & better traffic shaping)

[Steve Holdoway]

I'm working on getting openwrt up and running on a D-link dwl-g604t gen 2 atm. It was seriously delayed by the fact that the adam2 ftp address was set to 5.8.8.8, and all the fields in /proc relating to this have been renamed from the current docs. There will be more gotchas before getting it working, I'm certain (:

Steve.
