Exactly what are you doing that requires a reboot? Very few things actually do.
Nothing comes to mind that's out of the ordinary. If I click Apply or Save and I'm told I need a restart, then I reboot the device as instructed.
This is a fresh install of m0n0wall, which might explain why I'm seeing more reboots than normal or expected. I had a power incident at the house, and my running installation got corrupted (hang after 'ipfw2 initialized' during boot).
And sorry I could not list the exact tasks I performed that needed the reboot. I did not take notes, and my memory is not as sharp as it used to be.
