Adding network adapters
You can apply a separate firewall rule to each network adapter. For example, you may want to block traffic through a VPN at an office location, but not at a home location.
You can select a network adapter from a default list that is shared across Firewall Policies and rules. The most common adapters are included in the default list in the Policy Components list. The common adapters include VPNs, Ethernet, wireless, Cisco, Nortel, and Enterasys adapters. Use the default list so that you do not have to retype each network adapter for every rule you create.
Note:
The client does not filter or detect network traffic from PDA (personal digital assistant) devices.
See Adding network adapters to a rule.
See Editing and deleting custom network adapters.

In the Adapter Identification text box, type the case-sensitive brand name of the adapter.
To find the brand name of the adapter, open a command line on the client, and then type the following text:
