      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:

      Mar 24 13:34:14 pfSense kernel: ae0: Size mismatch: TxS:54 TxD:32822
      Mar 24 13:34:14 pfSense kernel: ae0: Size mismatch: TxS:118 TxD:32886
      Mar 24 13:34:14 pfSense kernel: ae0: Size mismatch: TxS:54 TxD:32822

      Mar 24 13:34:14 pfSense kernel: ae0: Size mismatch: TxS:54 TxD:32822

      Apparently network "is working", I can access pfSense from webconf / ssh from network, but I don't know at what cost / degradation.

      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  = ethernet

      I'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,
