Good afternoon, fellow Fedora Forumites. I'm not sure if this belongs in the Laptop or Security forums, so here goes:

I use an Atheros multiband wireless card and the Firestarter firewall. I have the firewall configured to watch my eth0 connection. When I unplug and switch to wireless, the firewall blocks connections on all other interfaces other than eth0. In order to get online using wireless, I have to shut off ath0, reconfigure the firewall, and reactivate ath0. Is there a way to get the firewall to watch both interfaces so I don't have to switch between the settings every time, or is there another firewall app I should be using for this? Any advice on automating the process would also be appreciated.

Thanks!

yeah, same question here. I can't get firestarter to monitor both wired and wireless. It seems that it's set to monitor only one kind of connection unless you set it to do otherwise.
