That's the point, I really cant turn off my traffic shaper or our students would use 100% of bandwitdh in laboratories. Do you know any 3com switch that can make pfsense be seen in more than one vlan? or which one would do that and what features do I search in a new switch if I want to buy a new one?? do you know Cisco SRW2024P 24-port? thanks

If I recall correctly I've seen a few reports of problems with fxp devices over the past few months. (fxp is the Intel 10/100 ethernet.) It might be worth searching the forums for posts over the past 6 months containing fxp to see if anyone has reported something that might be helpful. Have you tried a pfSense 1.2.3 snapshot build?

@wallabybob: Have you tried one of the 1.2.3 snapshot builds? Some people have found they work better than earlier builds. While that may be a generally good suggestion, given the errors this person was seeing, a thorough hardware test would be the first step. DMA errors are never "normal". Although there are some hardware implementations that clash with drivers, especially some IDE to CF adapters, usually the answer is to disable DMA since it is usually more of a hardware problem than a driver problem.

I booted without problems with 1.2.2 live (I don't recall if the Gb ethernets were working or not, probably not), I also coud install it into a sata 2,5" disk without problems. After that I upgraded to various snapshots of 1.2.3, with both Gb interfaces detected and being able to use at least one to work. The problem is that altough the hardware works, I cannot trust it much since all the stress testing I did, failed miserably (specially on the Gb side) Good luck

When you select 'install to the hard drive'  what option are don't manually configure the hard drive.  Use the default setting.  Unless you know how to configure the hard drive.  It can cause some issues booting. Trying installing and selecting all defaults.  You can always use the M0n0Wall installation guide for the HD installation part.  I just can't remember where to find the installation guide. RC

Ok on the netgear I have the following settings (all else at default) Basic settings - PPPoA username & password Advanced - LAN IP setup - I set the IP address details in there as WAN IP in my case 78.33.154.x (I won't publish my full IP) subnet 255.255.255.240, I also unticked the box use router as DHCP server On Pfsense I put the ip in under WAN as 78.33.154.x/28 Hope this helps Martin

Installed PFS 1.2.3, problem solved. Thank you so much guys.

Whats the FreeBSD interface name of OPT1? You can find this from the web GUI: Interfaces -> (assign) In the Network port column there is the FreeBSD interface name follwed by a MAC address in brackets, for example: rum0 (00:1b:11:b5:c1:c8). Perhaps the interface you have chosen for OPT1 is not really a wireless LAN interface.

I have tried 802.11g with a Linksys WRT54GL (official firmware) for high resolution videos as well. I'm using Ubuntu + MediaTomb as server and PS3 as client, but the video streaming stuck sometimes.

I'm sure on the branding terms, I've heard that some of the higher end Sandisk and such use the same type of memory, but I'm not sure how you'd tell for sure. I've been buying InnoDisk iCF4000 modules from these guys: http://www.memorydepot.com/ssd.asp

I would ask before hand for an excuse to open up this issue again, but that I have a problem here in this area and has a solution, but I can not find it. I have a ProLiant DL 160 server, but can not install pfsense 1.2.3 RC1, the problem is that the installation was paralyzed, not moving, it stays in this instruction … p4tcc3: <cpu frequency="" thermal="" control="">on cpu3 and fails to menu</cpu>

the source on the cdrom is ver. 1.2.2 : #define DRIVER_VERSION_STRING  "1.2.2" #define DRIVER_VENDOR          "Agere Systems, http://www.agere.com" #define DRIVER_BUILD_DATE      "01/31/2006 15:40:00" #define DRIVER_DESC            "10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet Driver" – The vertion in linux -kernel is from this project : http://dadams1969.googlepages.com/et131xkernelmodule So you see the main code base is from 2006/5 !! (what is my cdrom) that would not help any  ::)

Hello! For me, FX5621 doesn't work … Please, see at: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,16898.msg88743.html#msg88743 Regards, Josep Pujadas

I've been very happy with it.  It's compact, runs on 12v, and has plenty of CPU.  I've been able to push 30MB/s between 2 of the interfaces with no problems.  No special setup was needed.  I just installed 1.2.3-rc2 on a CF card and booted it.  The only out of the norm thing I've done is a few tweaks to get CPU power management running.  If you are in a decently ventilated area (i.e. not an enclosed cabinet inside a wall like my install), then you shouldn't need to worry about it.  The machine is a bit on the pricy side, but well worth the money if you want to do >100Mbps.

Thanks for the link, the latest snapshot (pfSense-1.2.3-20090615-1722.img.gz) worked great for me. Ill eventually have to get a serial port attached for bios updates, but atleast I can play with it for the time being! Cheers Slam

@fstab /dev/da0s1a            /cache0        ufs    rw,noatime      0      1 #/dev/ad1              /cache1        ufs    rw,noatime      0      1 you may also need to add some script to check that drive for consistency.

for some kind of fail over or improper shutdown other drive need to be scanned and mount. If cache0 is the cache_dir /cache0 you need to edit also the squid.sh #!/bin/sh # This file was automatically generated # by the pfSense service handler. rc_start() { if [ -z "`ps auxw | grep "[s]quid -D"|awk '{print $2}'`" ];then         if [ ! -d "/cache0/00" ];then                 if [ -z "`ps auxw | grep "fsck_ufs -y /cache0"`" ];then                 fsck -y /cache0                 fi         mount -a         fi         /usr/local/sbin/squid -D fi } rc_stop() {         /usr/local/sbin/squid -k shutdown # Just to be sure... sleep 5 killall -9 squid 2>/dev/null killall pinger 2>/dev/null } case $1 in         start)                 rc_start                 ;;         stop)                 rc_stop                 ;;         restart)                 rc_stop                 rc_start                 ;; esac
