It will be very nice have a freebsd option with pf againt the WRT54G, what about do it with a different hardware, it must be some other similar hardware with a CPU supported by freebsd and similar price. Im not a kernel developer, but I ready to do any testing ;) cheers Marcos Biscaysaqu ThePacific.net Scott Long wrote: > Bruno Ducrot wrote: > >> On Fri, Sep 23, 2005 at 01:50:45PM +0200, Florent Thoumie wrote: >> >>> Le Vendredi 23 septembre 2005 à 12:16 +0200, Bachilo Dmitry a écrit : >>> >>>> Forwarding to FreeBSD hackers.
