 ;__A__:You don't have a catch all rule for something in one of your class files. Look at the syslog messages carefully and see what interface they are dealing with and which rule you are missing. 
  
 !!Wishlist features 
 These are all wishlist features which may or may not get implemented :) 
-;renaming interfaces based on their category: eg: "External0" "External1" "Internal1" "Internal2", thusly when an interface comes up it is named by it's purpose. Useful for those machines that have 10+ interfaces and you can never remember which is which, also important when you have multiple ppp0, or VPN interfaces that may come up in any order (do you set the permissive rule on ppp0 or ppp1?) -- Superseeded by a program whose name I forget which has a file of MAC->interfacenames and when run renames interfaces as required. Rather nifty.

 ;some saner defaults:A simple default so if you run the script straight out of CVS it probably does what you want. Go get the deb if you need this.
