In/Out errors :(

MageMinds, r u sure? this image is 116MB when i'm downloading it… 0_o

Can please the users having errors say if they have traffic shaping enabled?
If yes, deactivating it does make things better? -
no shaping here…
numerous in errors and 0 out errors -
No shaping here as well. Simple AP bridged to LAN.
Still a lot of in errors, mainly due to FIFO buffer overrun.
I have to say that using the 6.3 1.2 image still gives the IN/OUT errors however I do not have the connection/disconnection problem that was making the wireless unusable. Now I am using PFsense as an access point and it is very usable.Johnny

I have some observations about this too.
First I had some failures because my WRAP had some "out of mbuf blockings"
ifconfig ath0 down && ifconfig ath0 up solved the blocking.I made a update to the FBSD 6_3 Version and had still mbuf raising.
Then I disabled Traffic shaping to ath0Further it seems that higher load lowers the error rate.
Here is the Cacti output for this Changes.

That's exactly what I have downloaded, although I have a 25 MB or so file. Try removing the file name from the link and click the file name yourself, it may help.

On a positive note, after some testing, even with a large number of IN errors and few OUTt errors, wireless performance is much better, no disconnections that I can tell and fast speed. The 1.2 with FreeBSD 6.3 has made a difference.
Thanks

I'm confirming this as well. I upgraded my pfsense box to the 6.3 image. I have the D-Link DWL-AG530 card (Atheros 5215 chip) and it works perfectly. No disconnection issues or stability issues. Sure, I have a lot of in and out errors after testing it out for the week ( In/out errors: 35344689/65 ), but they have not affected the performance or stability of the wireless connection, even with a weak signal (1 - 2 bars on iPhone).
I have WPA encryption running and runs like a champ!Also, I ran an iperf test from my laptop wirelessly to my PC via Ethernet. TCP throughput hovering around 21 - 23mbps at full signal (1 meter away from antenna).

Did anybody did the upgrade from the webGUI?
If not how?!?
TIA. -
Looks like ill have to rebuild the img in to the CF.. YaY for dd! :)
Thanks

Please add me to the list of working setups after pfSense 1.2 BSD 6.3 Upgrade.
The errors are still theres but I will ignore them till I get data corruption than I will start a new thread :)
But now all my systems stay up… Specially my iPods iTouch. -
I've been attempting to resolve my absurd in/out error issues for some time now, but with no real luck. My environment is powered by an Atheros AR5212 (I believe…will edit and correct when I have the time) that has managed to be a genuine pleasure to configure, but a nightmare to operate. In-out errors are through the roof even with the special build of 1.2-release.
If I setup the antenna-settings correctly…
what do you mean by that? could you please post your settings here…
I would like to learn a bit more about this, too. PFSense has pretty much been a case of solid on-the-fly learning in an attempt to provide a more flexible network environment. I'm vaguely aware of what benefits specialized configurations bring to the table, but not necessarily how to do them.
My current physical setup has two antennas, with one just barely able to reach (but still connected). If I were to attempt single-antenna operation, what settings would I need to apply in the console/bootloader to force it to a single antenna, and is there any genuine reason I should strive for two?
