Smoothwall doesn't allow you to change the 'Green' interface after the initial installation. This can be a problem if your Green NIC fails and needs to be replaced.

The solution is to edit /var/smoothwall/ethernet/settings

GREEN_DRIVER=eepro100

Upon changing the Green Interface driver reboot and the new NIC should be detected.

To check if the changes took place after a reboot. Use ifconfig to make sure the MAC address corresponds to the new NIC. You can also:

ping 127.0.0.1

You can also change the interface from the GUI
