Hi,

I'm just watching this thread, not writing rules yet, but in a earlier
post Daryl reported:

     lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   13 Jan 23 13:13 dig1250 -> adapter0/net0
     lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   13 Jan 23 13:14 DigKW150 -> adapter1/net0

Shouldn't those links be pointing to frontend0 rather than net0?
