Hey there, just upgraded to kernel image 2.6.8-3-686 and now all of the blocked connections from firestarter are logged in syslog and displayed at the console such as the following:

Mar 27 21:25:25 debian kernel: ABORTED IN=wlan0 OUT= MAC=00:0f:66:a1:89:28:00:12:17:27:5b:71:08:00 SRC=167.104.0.82 DST=192.168.1.103 LEN=40 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x20 TTL=48 ID=34256 PROTO=TCP SPT=443

I can't do anything on the command line because I get one of these every five seconds, [...]

Use "setterm -msg off" to stop the kernel messages from coming to the console.
