Basically, what I did was replace the cards and put two PCI cards in.  One
D-Link and one 3Com.  Then I installed smoothwall.  No hassles, no muss,
no fuss.  About 45 minutes and I was up and running.  Not sure if I will
use Debian anymore.  Left a bad taste in my mouth.  Slackware is much more
comfortable for me, so I think I'll stick with that for my other machines.
 

Thanks for the help.
