Uh, that comment was meant at least for Mandrake 9.0, cause there were a
lot of problems with that. Dunno, how the automatically configured
shorewall of Mandrake 9.1 competes, as I haven't tried it since.
Hopefully I can check that next week.

Tom: Maybe you should consider adding version to that warning...

Don't use ethX with ADSL modems, use the pppX instead (as mentioned in
the QuickStart Guides):
 net  ppp0  -  dhcp,routefilter,norfc1918

Of course, same here:
 ppp0  eth1
