#12 bridge firewall kernel support

[Anonymous]

You have snort and ipchains now it would be great if
you incorporated the kernel bridge patches so I can
transparently drop my sniffer/filter onto the network.

summary

this type of configuration uses the built in bridging
functionality of the 2.2.x kernel combined with the
ipchains filtering via a kernel patch. On top of this
you can run snort and guardian to enforce policy
without having to change existing LAN configuration.

Yeah this would be a plus if you could add this..

I have been trying the create a bridging kernel to load on a
trinux img, but i'm having very little luck.
