Eric,
You'll need to enable IP forwarding in Debian and use IP tables to do
packet inspection and act on whatever rules you write.
I don't see how Debian can be part of the process without the packets
landing on a configured interfacce to examine the packets and then
forward them based on rules.

Greetings and Salutations;
Is it possible to access an Ethernet port in Debian WITHOUT it being
configured?
I would like a device that has two ports with no IPs and acts as a
SWITCH, but with logic to examine and act on packets as they come through.
From the research I've done, this is not possible without developing
custom device driver and/or possibly changing part of kernel.
Just looking for some confirmation either way from people that know. :-)
Thanks,
Eric
