      Bump!

      In hope of any kind of feedback, will this be doable?
      I would love to come back to pfSense, but the lack of ALTQ support in VGE driver keeps me away :(

        I will make sure that this goes in for 1.3 can you please open a ticket about this and assign it to me?!

        If you want to try it with pfSense 1.2 edit /etc/inc/interfaces.inc and add to the list vge.

        Hope it helps.

          To be sure…

          Editing the file will make vge with altq patch available?

          The vge driver works fine but the QoS is not supported.

            It will only allow the gui to treat the vge interface as alq compatible interface and not throw a warning when you run the shaper. You still need a vge driver version that supports altq.

              Ok,

              Need the QoS so I guess I'll have to wait for 1.3 Beta 1…

              Any timeline for that release... hope

                We just released 1.2 last night/today so you shouldn't ask for a 1.3 beta yet ;-)

                  Hihi, congrats!
                  I was a very happy pfSense user until I bought a fanless VIA mini-itx chipset.

                  I'm using zeroshell right now, but can't wait coming back to pfSense with QoS support.

                          I see the 1.2.1 RC1 is released.
                          Seems like you guys have moved on to FreeBSD 7.0.

                          Does that mean that the vge driver now have ALTQ support?

                                Hmrf,

                                I gave pfSense 1.2.1 RC2 a shot.
                                My Intel Pro Gt 1000 was detected just fine as an em0 device, but the internal VIA gigabit nic was detected but NOT enabled:

                                vge0: <via networking="" gigabit="" ethernet="">port 0xf800-0xf8ff mem 0xfdffe000-0xfdffe0ff irq 18 at device 14.0 on pci0
                                vge0: MII read timed out
                                vge0: failed to start MII autopoll
                                vge0: MII without any phy!
                                device_attach: vge0 attach returned 6

                                So, what to do next?

                                PS: Filled a ticket: http://cvstrac.pfsense.org/tktview?tn=1834</via>
