      Go to http://<pfsense>/status.php and have a look at the dmesg output (at the very bottom).</pfsense>

          Is that the one working ?, or is that the one not working ? (the Intel based MB I mean).
          For me it has allways been the Intel boards that works, SIS and especially VIA has allways given me some sort of trouble. SIS and sigle card somtimes work ok. But after figuring out that SIS and VIA often gave me problems, I just went with Intel based chipsets on the MB and never looked back.

            Intel is working, but sis/via not… I got yesterday one more via chipset so I'll try that one also ;)

              I still had problems with snapshot-11-28, but with SNAPSHOT-12-20, everything is working??? system is stable, and working as supposed. No more crashes! Good job, whatever you did!  :o

                Hi ,

                Still having these problems.
                Mine is a "CPU: Intel Pentium III (751.71-MHz 686-class CPU)" with "real memory  = 671088640 (640 MB)"
                It is a "3VAAV" motherboard with VIA chipset.

                What can I do?

                  Search for a biosupdate. If there is a newer version give that a try. Some atheros issues were fixed for wraps with the latest bios version (though a wrap is a completely different device). Maybe a biosupdate can fix your board too.

                    Okay thanx!

                    Can you also explain what everybody means by 'snapshots'.
                    Are these beta-versions? Where could I download them?

                      Snapshots are non release versions that are somewhere between the latest release version and the next upcoming release version. They are mainly meant for testing though we pull snapshots that won't work if we detect a problem. They usually should work. Usually you will see snapshots every few days. You can find them at the following location: http://pfsense.com/~sullrich/
