Router with IP tables
Any non-wireless routers running IP tables?

Pretty interesting reading about the wrt54g. I was wondering if anyone knows of a similar non-wireless router that runs iptables that can be accessed.

I'm looking for a little more flexibility than the NAT/PAT on the standard routers. Do any allow more sophisticated configuration than the BEFSR41 for example?

For that matter, are there intelligent network PCI cards than run their own firewall/iptables on board?

Check out routerlinux:

http://www.routerlinux.com

This is a small, router-centric linux distribution that can be flashed onto the 16MB Disk-On-Chip device on a Websurfer Pro / GCT-Allwell STB box. Once you put a multiport NIC in the PCI slot, you have a very capable Linux router with IPTables/Netfilter, DHCP, DNSMasq, RP-PPPoE, FreeS/WAN, OpenSSL, OpenSSH, Zebra, etc. All the scripts are fully configurable.

I don't think there are any common NICs that can run their own code on the NIC itself. It doesn't really serve any useful purpose.

Thanks for the tip. That site seems to be down at the moment.

I did actually find there are a few NIC running their own firewall-onboard. They are damn expensive though: 3COM makes one, FireCard, SnapGear, CyberGuard.

Closest thing I found to what I was looking for was monowall.
