At this time Network-Manager does not have a Firewall/IPtables plugin (Though that would be a great addition), but you can use NetworkManagerDispatcher and whereami to update your iptables rules when you connect. Networkmanagerdispatcher will run scripts after an interface comes up or goes down, more specifics and examples on it are available in the man page or from searching the archives. _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
