Using Red (linked to a ethernet cable to a Zoom X3 phone broadband) and Green
linked to ethernet Hub ; has anyone had any problems / no problems with this
scenario?

Yes, major problems here. There appears to be something wrong with the
startup/init scripts for the Red interface (at least when it is set up to
use DHCP to get it's address and routing from the cable modem). It does
not get initialized and you have no Red interface. I'm not the only one
who has experienced this, and I'm quite sure it's nothing in my setup. I
probably could have fussed around and fixed it, but it was much easier to
just install IPCop instead, which is working great.

Just got on the forums at smoothwall.org and I can see the following problems:

Hello All!

Regarding updating v2.0.9 to v3.0.

I am assuming here that there is no upgrade procedure just fresh install and
clearing all HDD contents.

I assume the issue is more about the NIC card not being seen than it
is about what modem one has.

The modem might matter only to the dynamic DNS update script and
should not make too much of a difference for anything else. (That is
now not a mod but part of the 3.0 install)

I tested 3.0 without any Red interface issues but I am using a run of
the mill type 3Com 10/100 that is using a basic driver. I would like
to know what the hardware is on the ones that won't configure. If they
are using a newer NIC that might be a clue.

I personally am waiting for the Grey listing and a few other mods to
be activated before I bring my 3.0 to front line status.
As always, when you jump out on the bleeding edge expect some misery.
I assume there will be a year or so of updates until you get back to
the rock solid state 2.0 is in now.

Right now my 2.0 is working like a champ and there is no need to get
too adventurous.
