@skogs said in 2.5.0 seems more stable:
wasn't really all that stable. Some days I'd have to restart the network interfaces, unbound, or the whole machine 2 or 3 times. Sometimes once a week.
Glad you're having better luck. I've run pfSense and m0n0wall before that for many years and general instability was never a problem across multiple clients. I've seen them run for years without a reboot if an unmanaged client got behind in updates. We have exactly one Realtek card in service, and it hasn't been a problem, but I do see posts pretty frequently here bashing Realtek due to the FreeBSD drivers. So I'd guess it was more likely the "added in the Realtek driver" part of your post? Not saying you're wrong...just very patient.
