Try looking at ipautofw; note that you need to compile your kernel with
support for it, which means you'll have to select the 'experimental
features' much earlier in the config (unless this has changed with recent
2.0.3*). ipautofw itself should be available from
ftp://ftp.netis.com/pub/members/rlynch/

Good luck.
