      again, just running those ifconfig commands didn't help. had to disable/enable wireless interface

      Disabling and enabling does nothing different from running the contents of ath0_setup.sh and then bridge0_config. You have to run both though.

        tried putting wireless standalone without the bridge but with dhcp on it but still the same, atleast the older versions used to work with wireless without the bridge to the lan.

          Can you post your status.php?  I can't replicate any problems with 7 different ath cards, bridged or not. Going to need more info.

              One (or more) of you who can replicate problems, can I get remote access into your firewall? Then let me know when the problem occurs so I can log into the box and see what's happening.  If you can replicate this problem and will let me into your firewall, please email me (cmb at pfsense dot org) and reference this forum thread.

                    ok, funny thing.

                    Once booted, enter GUI and go to Interfaces/LAN

                    Uncheck or Check Disable the Userland FTP-Proxy application

                    Hit Save and then Apply.

                    Bridge is working with proper MTU!

                    I reproduced this 3 times, test on yours please.

                      That'll do the same thing as just clicking Save without changing anything.

                      Pretty sure I have a lead on the cause of this issue, it's some sort of FreeBSD bug, looking for a solution.

                        At least we're down to a one click fix

                        ;D

                          In the tests I've done on this little WRAP I have next to me, saving is what reset it to 2290 :) Not quite what I'd call a fix yet…

                          A FreeBSD bug in hostapd is the likely culprit, as cmb said we're all hoping for a fix.

                              i cant believe this, the solution is this simple, i just tried it and within less than 30 secs it started working like there was no problem at all

                                It's not really that simple. That doesn't do anything differently from manually running the commands I noted earlier in the thread. It will make it work for a bit, but it won't stay working.

                                  actually when i tried manually those commands it never used to work but currently at least its running fine for the past like 15mins, lets see how long it lasts

                                          I'm back on 7.1 builds.  Clicking Save in Interfaces/LAN fixes the "wireless bridge MTU and promiscuous mode" bug in the 7.1 build as well.  Besides, 7.1 builds are up to 1.2.3 RC2.
