You're right there - some semi-hardware support combined with drivers
apparently result in lower CPU usage that software firewalls. Apparently.
Actually, these people like it:

However one feature that you can't laugh at is the fact that it can be
made to block packets in the span of time between the OS being loaded
up, and the "real" firewall coming up. This small time span
theoretically leaves the PC vulnerable, so I think this is the only
use for "ActiveAmor Firewall".
However, this doesn't answer my original question (which I suppose I
should have made clearer): can I get SATA II NCQ support in Linux with
an nForce 4 chipset?
