It's tough to get the whole kitchen sink on a 1680k floppy-- the most commonly used media for LEAF variants--but yes, there is PCMCIA and wireless[1] support for Bering and Jacques has indicated one of his next major development tasks will be an IPSec-enbled release. In the meantime, Chad Carr has posted[2] instructions on how to add IPSec support to Bering. ssh and zebedee packages are also available for secure tunneling. I would also like to clarify that I have nothing against OpenBSD. I really like the philosophy behind that distribution. I'm not trying to say LEAF variants are better or worse than the BSDs, just stating that there is a floppy firewall distribution that has a 2.4 kernel and stateful packet filtering. --Brad [1] http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/leaffw08.html#AEN568 , specifically pcmcia.lrp and wireless.lrp.
