    hi all, I have used this leanix thing of which you speak and I has a question

    I'm running a smoothwall firewall (V3 with all update) and have been for the past few years.

    For the last few days my internet connection has been dropping and coming back up a few minutes late. Assuming it was my provider I cursed them to hell and left it at that. But today it went down and didn't come back up. I bounced the smoothie (just in case) But it didn't come back, so I ssh'd onto the box. eth1 (red interface) was down. I brought it up and my connection came back.
    I tailed the log, last couple of events are down the end.
    There are a number of similar events over the last few days roughly corresponding with when my connection was down, so it looks like a smoothie problem rather than my ISP. Would you think my problem is a failing nic?

    from /var/log/messages
