A better solution would be a NIC with a built-in SI firewall...manageable from a host app, but physically separate from the OS running on the PC.
Gaak. No. ;) What's the point of a firewall, if the first piece of malware that does manage to sneak in (via a file-sharing program, or a webpage that installs malware, or an "ooh! Shiny!" email attachment) just does the network Plug-N-Play call to tell the firewall "Shield DOWN!"?
