    Simply reducing the notifications will certainly help. 2.7 is in Beta and it's looking good. So unless something show stopping is found I would anticipate 'weeks'. Hard to be more accurate than that. Steve

    @stephenw10 said in Crash Report: arp: packet with unknown hardware format 0x06 received Something on LAN is sending bad packets. You should find out what that is and stop it if you can. However that shouldn't cause a kernel panic. https://forum.netgate.com/topic/152050/arp-packet-with-unknown-hardware-format-0x00 With php core dumping like that I would expect to see some errors in the system log? Whatever else is happening at that time could tell us something. Steve

    @stephenw10 I could not use chatgpt and may have done a poor job of translating, but before the L2 switch was installed, I would wake up from sleep or reboot and the connection would stay online or be disconnected. The gateway was not up (the network icon was an X) and 192.168.1.1 was also not connectable. I have been trying to put an L2 switch in between and so far the connection never seems to get disconnected. I will keep an eye on the status a little longer.

    Yup, rules are applied per interface. Interfaces can be (are usually) a single port. Exceptions to that would be, for example, VLANs where one port can carry multiple interfaces or bridges where one interface can span several ports. Steve

    Hmm. It still seems like unexpected/unwanted behaviour on an internal interface. We should look at it anyway.

    Mmm, that is old but still. One 3GHz core would usually be enough. If it's actually running at 3GHz....

    Thanks for the replies everyone, I was able to fix the issue last night. I did end up reviewing and trying out proxmox instead of VMware Workstation, and was able to get it working. I'm not exactly sure what the issue was, but I think there was an issue with how i set up the network interfaces on the VMware. On proxmox i wasn't able to reach the gui at first from the PC connected to the LAN port, which made it more clear what to look for when debugging the problem. When running VMWare on windows I was able to connect to the GUI from the PC running VmWare, which I think was causing me to misdiagnose the problem. Eventually got it working on Proxmox and noticed I had the gateways misconfigured on the client, which could have been the issue on my setup with VMware Workstation.

    Apologies for the delay, but having got the issue fixed I thought it would be worth adding a note as to what the problem was rather than leving it dangling. Thanks for the help of @stephenw10 who checked the (two different) NDI (Network Device Id) that were showing up on the sytem against the pfSense registration db, and fixed the registration there to be correct. Somehow, most likely due to me having played with the network devices in the config and then reloaded it, the pfSense plus registration did not match the device id. Once that was fixed I could get the package database and install packages again. Nigel.

    I know this is an old post but....this worked for me too. I bought a Beelink EQ-12 for pfSense. It uses the Intel i225-V ethernet controller. I installed the release version of pfSense and the nics were not found. I tried a recent dev snapshot (2.7.0-DEVELOPMENT-amd64-20230605-0600) and it's working. Thanks for helping me solve my problem!

    I won't pretend to be a FreeBSD memory expert. However if you want that value to include only Free memory you can just edit that file so the line is: $usedMem = $totalMem - $freeMem; You can include that as an auto-installing patch even if you wanted it to survive updates. Steve

    @manilx For what it's worth: Fixed by reflashing and restoring saved backup. BTW: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/netgate-8200/reinstall-pfsense.html states that "If there is an existing installation on this device, the Recover config.xml option will attempt to mount the existing installation drive and copy the previous configuration, including SSH keys. Choose that option first, then proceed through the install as usual." Did not happen, it just installed as factory default. Had to reassign interfaces/IP's to get access to the web console an then restore backup. After that smooth sailing. Took me 15min, a lot less time than fiddling around trying to fix/locate the issue.

    @jabren said in Synology Package Manager Issue: so I’ll be adding my previous configurations one by one to see what may have caused it. Thats a good idea. For each configuration you add back wait a day before adding the next one.
