I tried to setup a firewall last night with one NIC. Let's leave
discussions 
about whether this is a good idea or not out of it :).

I am bringing the public, dmz, and internal networks in on 802.1q 
vlans. Nothing leaves the box in native mode. The public and dmz 
network are the same ip network, so I am bridging between the vlan 
interfaces for those networks with the purpose of filtering on those 
vlan interfaces when the other problems are solved. The vlans are on a

3com 3300 Superstack 2 switch. The network card for the firewall is in

100 full duplex(I have tried this with a 3c905c and an Intel eepro100).

The internet router is a Cisco 2610 and it's ethernet interface is 
configured for 10 full duplex. Once everything is setup I can ping the
bridge ip address and the box on the other side of the bridge from the
router. I can send 1500 byte pings with about 99% response. About 8
packets out of 1000 do not get a reply.

I am using 

kernel 2.4.17
bridge netfilter patch for 2.4.17
802.1q patches for 3c59x and eepro100(tried each)
latest netfilter cvs patch-o-matic selections


Any ideas?
