The unit I bought /seems/ straightforward in this respect:  left nav
Access->Firewall Rule takes you to a list of rules that you can insert/remove
(and enable/disable) with the standard fields (name, allow/deny, source
iprange, dest iprange, dest port, protocol).  Not exactly the latest-greatest
iptables but it doesn't seem confusing.  The manual and context-sensitive
help, of course, don't go into any examples of what rules you might want to
have--that knowledge is an assumed prerequisite.

Firmware rev is 3.00b13.
