Description Ziga Mlinar 2006-09-06 17:23:45 UTC
I changed names of eth0 and eth1 with udev rules to eth_wan and eth_lan. Firestarter now shows negative or huge numbers in field Status/Network/Activity.

Using:
net-firewall/firestarter-1.0.3
sys-fs/udev-098

/etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules 
--------------------------------
KERNEL=="eth*", SYSFS{address}=="00:14:85:32:1d:dc", NAME="eth_wan"
KERNEL=="eth*", SYSFS{address}=="00:14:85:32:1c:2c", NAME="eth_lan"

Did you rerun the wizard to regenerate the files in /etc/firestarter?

Yes. I did it once again now. Restarted firestarter service and gui. Still the same.

net-firewall/firestarter was removed from portage.
Comment 4 Ziga Mlinar 2007-07-10 21:58:13 UTC
Well, the removing was not really my Idea. I ran it for quite some time now with no problems. 

Why is removing neccecary?

Comment 5 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-07-10 23:16:50 UTC
No, it was my idea since I was the maintainer.  It's gone through the normal package removal procedure and now it's not in portage.  You're welcome to continue to run it on your own system but it's no longer supported.
