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

      I don'tknow what it does but it helps  ;)

        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.

                                        this is more of a firewall issue but it affects some how the wireless interface so I'm going to post it here  :)
                                        my firewall setup can be seen in attached files
                                        when rules on the LAN interface setup first time everything works OK but after reboot I get this message in dmesg:

                                        Configuring firewall...
                                        ipfw2 (+ipv6) initialized, divert loadable, nat loadable, rule-based forwarding enabled, default to accept, logging disabled
                                        ipfw:
                                        rule 2: setsockopt(IP_FW_DEL)
                                        :
                                        Invalid argument
                                        ipfw:
                                        rule 3: setsockopt(IP_FW_DEL)
                                        :
                                        Invalid argument
                                        
                                        

                                        when the router is up my wireless wont work. I'm getting dhcp ip address and all other info right but I can connect to the firewall or internet.
                                        Looks like this error makes firewall do something to the wireless interface. Wireless is bridged to LAN

                                        removing and recreating these rules would fix the problem.

                                          We were able to get the changing MTU issue that was causing the problem on the systems I saw resolved in FreeBSD, and have added that patch to our snapshots as of a couple days ago. Those of you who could replicate issues, please test the latest snapshot from here and report back.

                                            just downloaded and reflashed to pfSense-1.2.3-20090609-0445 and the wireless issue has been solved, works perfect now, so finally we r over with it, keep in mind 1.2.3 RC2 is FreeBSD 7.2 base now
