Looking through some add-on binaries for IPCop, I came across sifled, a modification to ifled (use keyboard LED's for status indicators) that works with Smoothwall to display connection and Tx/Rx status. I ran into a couple of issues getting it to work, so I thought I'd post them here in case anyone else has problems.
First, the standard "console" interface didn't work with my AT keyboard, so I had to switch it to tty0. Secondly, since sifled is programmed to look at /var/smoothwall/red/active to determine if the connection is active. I would have updated the source and recompiled it, but I'm not too familiar with doing that in linux, so instead I cheated and created a symbolic link to the ipcop file. I created the /var/smoothwall/red/ directory, and then used "ln -s /var/ipcop/red/active" to create a symbolic link. Now it works like a charm.
