well my users are moaning a lot lately that its slower and my one interface firewall gateway rules are not working at all??? though i will try upgrade again and see what happens

thats that way it was… i set it to factory and changed a few things seems to work now... now if i can only figure out how to give this mac no.1 priority =-D

1.2beta1 is out. Fetch it from one of the mirrors.

Nice, thanks :D.

I am up and running with live version of 1-2 on a CF card and all nics are working - Realtek 8110sc Thanks Guys!

I will make the change it the img. "hw.ata.ata_dma=0" Thanks Guys.

very sorry guy because this isn't mission critical I tend not to bother giving any roll back options. After you have to plan this stuff at work I can't be bothered at home. I do mess around a lot so it may of just been me.  When I went into the IPSEC setup the pass phrase was there but didn't work till I retyped it and resaved it. Hopfully it will only be me to report it. Thanks for your help etc. As a repayment for all your hard work I would be happy to donate web hosting or bandwidth on my ADSL connection. I do run some sevices time to time on this line. I also have an trixbox is you want to me to test anything.

Thanks to the guys at hacom! As you can see they take care to have images that work with the hardware they sell (and even other). A quality recommended vendor!  :D

You can interrupt the bootprocess to disable dma-modes before it starts loading the kernel (see http://wiki.pfsense.com/wikka.php?wakka=BootOptions for how to do so). Then once installed simply edit the bootloader config from diagnostics>edit file, save and reboot.

Woops.  This is now reverted. See http://cvstrac.pfsense.com/tktview?tn=1290 for more info.

Should be fixed in 1.2-BETA-1.

@MrPK: … Or shoudkl I use the http://snapshots.pfsense.com/FreeBSD6/RELENG_1/updates/pfSense-Full-Update-1.0.1-SNAPSHOT-03-27-2007.tgz ? Yes, that one.

Correct.  The board is based on a 815 intel chipset. Have tired updating the BIOS but can't find an update! :) Any help greatly appreciated.

Try booting a FreeBSD 6.2 CD on it, I'm guessing it won't work. If the CD boots, try doing an install and see if it works. This is a FreeBSD bug, the only way this problem will get fixed is if you could do the test with FreeBSD and if it's still an issue, post back here. Someone can help you get the appropriate info to post to a FreeBSD list to get this resolved.

Not really (at least not when it comes to the blank local console). It you attach your WAN and have some nonsense subnetsettings that conflict with your LAN or some DHCP at WAN that assigns conflicting settings with your LAN you might end up with a broken webgui/network at LAN though.

@rrbranco: :)  :o  :) I'm really astonished by the quality of the your project, it's stability, potential, quality and "simplicity" (related how easy to use it is, not related to developing / maintaining ) . As I could read on the forum, almost each and everything was foresaw, analyzed and treated. Great work, congratulations. Thanks a lot. Regards from Rio de Janeiro - Brazil. Rodrigo Ristow Branco Thank you!  :D

Sorry Hoba should of looked there I did think about it but I decinded not to.

444 days is my biggest uptime (just checked, 2 machines of a carp cluster). You can schedule tasks by adding them to the schedules section in the config.xml (download it and have a look at the very bottom of that file). Add your reboot command there, upload it again and it will trigger the reboot. Not sure why you need it though.

In fact, there were no reason to change anything else than the hash in the config.xml … Comments are WELCOME. :) ./script_to_change_passwd.sh pfSense-1.0.1-Embedded.img ** Changing pfSense-1.0.1-Embedded.img password ! ** Default hash password : $1$dSJImFph$GvZ7.1UbuWu.Yb8etC0re.
