I am a newbie (as you can tell) and I am trying to get something done for work. We are a wireless ISP and are trying to set-up a bandwidth limiting box. At first we tried using Emerging Technologies's bandwidth managing program but it hasn't been very good for a newbie like me. So I am looking into using IPFW to do the limiting. Now I am trying to setup the box to be a firewall and I want to do it statically. Now I was wondering if there is a tutoral or HOWTO online that can help me with the kernel configuration to make it static, since I don't feel like having to start the firewall everytime the box is restarted. Any help would be much appreciated and thanks in advance.
