  Well, now I'm seeing a different bit of error, getting USB hotplug events which at least seem to reconnect well enough. I have a feeling a lot of this has to do with heat in the adapter. I tried to clamp it to a rack shelf which should allow a bunch of heat to pass into the cooler shelf, but that doesn't seem to be working. Might just need to deal with it until I can get better hardware ordered.

  Hmm, interesting. I don't see anything indicating an ARP issue logged there. I would take a packet capture on the WAN when it is down and see what is being sent and if anything at all is coming back. One thing that may happen is if you set promiscuous mode in the pcap it comes back up. We have seen that happen before but I think only on ppp connections. I assume you're running 2.4.4p2? Since the issue is carried between OSes it seems likely a hardware issue. On which case I would check for power saving options that maybe enabled. There is a PCIe power saving setting that some BIOSes enable that can behave like this. Steve

  @scorch95 Registered ECC does not work. At least this one I tried: Samsung 8GB 2Rx4 PC3 10600R (M393B1K70CH0) . The supplied memory seems to be ECC unbuffered: Transcend 4G 1Rx8 DDR3 1600 ECC (679323-0288)

  @stephenw10 Thank you for replying. As with moth things, 10 reboots and plugging and unplugging it decided to work lol. So its running and I successfully have internet everywhere in the house both wired and wireless behind the cable modem into Pfsense into the wireless router and into a small switch...I'm exhausted. Now I need to figure out the easy part and how to use it. Thank you again.

  @jimp thanks for taking the time to reply to my post. The pfsesne pc worked well with an HP NC360T nic card, but when I install the i350 the pc just beeps and hangs. You are correct in that it is a hardware issue. I will try resetting the bios and flashing the nic card. I will post my findings. Thanks

  Also, at least in my experience using the driver built in to FreeBSD, the watchdog timeout is pretty easy to provoke by running iperf tests against the LAN interface. I see that the Odroid H2 has dual RTL8111Gs whereas I, and I believe most others using the official Realtek driver, have been running Zotac machines that I believe have RTL8111Es. Both of those use the same driver, but I think it's fair to say that the RTL8111G is less "battle tested" with this driver. Have you also confirmed that the driver is indeed being loaded and used by looking for it in the output of ldstat?

  I going to say probably not since I've never seen anyone else report that. What hardware is it internally? If it's not x86 then definitely no. If it is and it's not locked down, to a signed boot image for example, then maybe. Steve

  Have a look at the Fractal Design cases: https://www.fractal-design.com together with Noctua FANs they are pretty awesome. If you want to extend your build to a big VM host the Define R6 is really nice with plenty of space for disks, and you can use the 5.25" bay for a temp/fan monitor of your choice.

  It seems unlikely but I guess it could be. Some small variation in the components. If it works reliably connected that way I would just move on TBH. Steve

  I would be very surprised if it is not but you need to know the PCI-ID of the card to know for sure: https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src/blob/b964e7355f44df566d5906568c7598e7f9313da0/sys/dev/ixgbe/ixgbe_type.h#L84 Steve

  That is true, it will only boot 2.4+ due to the UEFI requirement. There are some pretty detailed write-ups out there for compiling Coreboot. There is also (or at least was) a third party BIOS that enabled legacy booting on the original Minnowboard max and Turbot. Steve

  Probably the powerd settings. Adaptive rather than the default 'high-adaptive' will run the CPU slower on average in variable load conditions resulting in marginally less power consumption and hence heat. No fan at all with the same heatsink would concern me. It's a smaller heatsink than the MBT-2220 which is entirely passive but a greater potential power dissipation. Steve

  Multiple queues should exist for ix or ixl interfaces by default. You can configure a fixed number using those options if you wish otherwise the system will add as many as the driver supports or your have cores for. You should see the queues in top -aSH at the command line. Steve

  It will pass >200Mbps with 1500B packets using AES-128-CBC. More than that if you can use AES-GCM. Far more if you can switch to IPSec. Steve

  Seems like you're hitting the legacy console issue which is known in 2.4.4+ though it would not normally reboot by itself. Either boot the device in UEFI node which should give a working console or do this: https://www.netgate.com/docs/pfsense/install/upgrade-guide.html#upgrading-from-versions-older-than-pfsense-2-4-4 Specifically the section regarding Atom systems with Intel HD graphics. In your case your device appears to have a serial console so you could also install using that which does not have this problem. Steve

  @tman222 said in Hardware opinion with Gigabit fiber.: Even though you already purchased the hardware I just wanted to chime in here quick as well and mention that I have been using that exact same system with a symmetric gigabit fiber connection for almost two years and have been very happy with the performance. I basically have all the things installed that you mentioned in your post, although I don't use IPSEC anymore these days. This is a very capable little box and that will even scale beyond gigabit (I have done some basic 10Gbit testing with it). They back-ordered it so I am still on the hunt for one at a good price but thanks for the confirmation!!

  @toomas said in [Solved] In/out errors on LAN: @0x10C: I've built a new PFSense system and I'm having some In/out errors on my LAN. Is this normal or do I have a port/cable issue? (I've already changed the cable and the error rate stayed the same). This is my config map. Modem -> PFsense -> 4x1Gb Lan Bridged -> 1Gb Switch/Access Point (WiFi + 4 Ethernet Ports). I'm only using one of the LAN ports on my PFSense system out of the four available. I bridged the four ports as I intended to use more than one. Here is the information from the affected interface, this is the Bridge. No other interface is showing any In/Out Error or Colossians. Based on this the error rate is about 1.06% Is this something I should be concerned about? I'm not having any issues accessing the internet, the speed is what I should be receiving and is identical to my old equipment. But obviously seeing errors of any kind is worrying with a new system, this is my first PFSense build also. Thank you for any replies. It is much appreciated. I can verify the errors.. if you have bridget the ports and you have unused ports enabled.. you get errors on the bridge.. just unenable the unused ports and you are good.. this is still happening in 2.3 realice version..  :) New pfSense user here, sorry to revive an old thread but I can also verify that this is still a thing with version 2.4.4. I bridged two of my LAN-ports today and immediately after that I began receiving output errors on the bridge-interface (with the other network cable unplugged).

I'd really like to start ordering some parts soon, so I can begin building. I was hoping to get it up and running before Christmas, but also don't want to just rush anything. Thank you for time!

  If you don't have ue0 then try using camcontrol to eject cd0 and da0, this might allow the stick to change mode. Alternatively you can flash a different firmware on to the stick. check this thread here, I've written a small how-to guide for NDIS mode https://forum.netgate.com/topic/130040/how-to-configure-rndis-on-e3372/17 -D
