any USB should in theory work, as the USB / Bluetooth interface is

Can anyone recommend me a Bluetooth interface thing that works with
linux? I'm currently thinking USB, but pcmcia is doable. I want it to

Hi all,
I'm putting together a new Linux firewall box for bigpond cable and
am having fun trying to decide between two motherboards.
Doing the relevant googling and archive searches, I have ended up
with two choices:
1. An Asus board with an onboard Realtek 8139.
2. An Aopen board with an onbo

Onboard? Run away, run away!
I highly recommend having as much off the motherboard as you can - they
always come back to bite later anyway. A network interface is less of a

I had a firewall like this for years, it worked well (2.0.33 I think).

For the use you envisage RTL8139 is fine, just make sure to get the
latest
Netgear 310 10/100 cards are well supported with the tulip driver.
However up until 2.2.18 (and possibly still) you need to reload
the kernel module if the cable is pulled out or something.
So be sure to have a really solid connection as short inteferences
you normally wouldnt notice will cause t

Thanks everyone for your response.
The comments from Ken effectively summarise why I am intending to
use the onboard nic (no fan etc). I have an existing firewall box
which is performing quite nicely (P166, DFE-530, 3Com 3c905)
