Sophos Client Firewall and 3G NDIS

ricdgr

Hi,

What is the meaning of the following statement (from the release notes):

- Sophos Client Firewall does not support the “mobile broadband” driver

Does it mean Sophos Client Firewall does not support the NDIS driver?

What exactly happens when a computer is using that kind of driver? Will the firewall allow all the traffic? Can the client fallback to the Windows Firewall? Exactly how can we overcome this limitation?

Thanks.

    The defect is quite accurate. Any card with NDIS drivers will not be supported.
    Like all cards that ship with Dell Latitude laptops (5530, 5540, 5550, 5560).
    But we also have some from Huawei and Option.
    Actually, all our cards have NDIS drivers, and all of them will have their IN OUT traffic allowed by SOPHOS firewall, even if the firewall is set to DENY it.
