      Yes, that issue is fixed in CE and Plus now.

      If you had already hit it then switching to Dev again and then bakc to stable should correct it.
      The system logs should show it pulling the updated repo pkg and then downgrading back to the 2.6/22.05 pkg.

        Recently I have the same issue on one of FW (Dev 2.7.0) after trying to update by 13) Update from console item from menu:

        73E4A4E1-A68B-4778-BB85-54867D09A4A4.jpeg

        Also when I choose Branch: “Development ...” version in System / Update menus in WebGUI, there are “Unable to check updates” in Retrieving.

        Please help to resolve... Tnx!

          Had you switched the update branch back to 2.6?

          What 2.7 snapshot is that running?

            No, just stay on 2.7.0-DEVELOPMENT

                @sergei_shablovsky FreeBSD 12 is before they changed to 14. Have a read through https://www.netgate.com/blog/ce-snapshots-on-php-8.1-and-freebsd-main

                Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
                When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

                  Yup, that^

                  You will need to run those commands to come from a FreeBSD 12 based snapshot. Though that snap is so old I would probably just reinstall it and restore the config.

                      When installing this new pfSense from scratch on this particular device I found strange behavior:

                      • some NICs detected incorrectly (I mean name when entering to 2) Interface assigning in main menu);
                      • MACs of some NICs (not of all, but for 2 cards from totally 8, let’s note all cards are absolutely identical);

                      So totally missunderstanding why 6 NICs cards MACs are recognized correctly and even the same “igb” interface naming done by FreeBSD for that cards, and I see the same pair “igbN - MAC”.
                      But 2(two) - MACs CHANGED ! (I have a screenshot and a spreadsheet of previous FreeBSD13 based installation, and SURE that MACs was differ!)

                      Your opinion on that ?

                      P.S.
                      No any BIOS changes, nothing! The same server, same cards, all hardware untouched...

                        Is it a random MAC shown? Some drivers will generate one if they cannot read the NIC for whatever reason. That's mostly on USB NICs though I've never seen it on igb.
