Hi All,

I am creating a firewall rule using IPFW on my mac machine having an Airport card installed.

The rule is as below

ipfw add deny 802.11 from me to any 22

ipfw add deny 802.11 from me to any 80

ipfw add deny 802.11 from me to any 22 out

ipfw add deny 802.11 from me to any 80 out


But when i try to perform an SSH from another machine to this and vice-versa it works! Ideally it should not work....

However, if i replace the protocol "802.11" with "tcp". It blocks all the SSH option from and to my machine.....

My doubt is isn't Airport card belonging to 802.11n/g technology?


Please explain!!
