Console flooded with NIC (ae0) Size mismatch messages
-
Dear Sirs,
I'm new to pfSense and I'm trying to use an old Asus EEE PC 4G as my FW/DG.
I'm using pfSense 2.3.3-RELEASE (i386 full-install).
I'd be very grateful if someone could shed some light on this.
My terminal is getting flooded with the messages below:

pciconf -lv shows me the following NIC device:
ae0@pci0:3:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x82331043 chip=0x20481969 rev=0xa0 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Qualcomm Atheros'
device = 'Attansic L2 Fast Ethernet'
class = network
subclass = ethernetI've searched the forum and googled it and unfortunatelly couldn't find anything, except a very old link below:
http://freebsd.1045724.x6.nabble.com/Availability-of-Programmer-s-Guide-for-Broadcom-57XX-LAN-Controllers-td4021260.html
Does someone know what could be causing this?
Kind regards,
