I have a router running with this one for a few days now.
Works ok for me.

root@Devil:~ # uptime
00:16:47 up 5 days, 21:50,  1 user,  load average: 0.01, 0.02, 0.00

At the moment a total of 7 interfaces in the box, only 3 life though at 
the moment.

I have tried creating the config with the setup command but this did not 
work for me.
As I said before, I think the initscripts should be upgraded to use 
iproute2 instead of the ancient ifconfig commands.
I created all network configs using fwbuilder and the fwbuilder script 
uses iproute2 to setup the interfaces.
