Firewall with USB

[John Anderson]

Hi,

USB is not totally irrelevant, since it means I can't connect my 
firewall/router directly to my input, but I take your point.

I will have USB connections to my ISDN upload and my satellite decoder, my 
question was more whether freebsd firewall supports USB devices in principle 
for the WAN or whether it will only take ethernet WAN and LAN.

I guess the answer was yes, so long as the drivers for my external devices 
exist.
