      Hello,

      2.0-ALPHA-ALPHA built on Tue Aug 11 08:29:31 UTC 2009
      It is installed on a DL380 G1 with two extra Intel dual NIC.
      fxp driver is used for all of them.

      Any VLAN created is detected as down by the GUI (status -> interfaces).
      However ifconfig shows them up. And all traffic works as expected !

      What can I do to have traffic stats etc working ?

      G.D

          Ha! i was just getting on the forum to report the same problem & found this post at the top of the list.

          yes i'm running
          2.0-ALPHA-ALPHA built on Tue Aug 13 20:15:36 UTC 2009
          on an Athlon64 2.2Ghz (S939) NF-51 onboard everything disabled (except usb + com1)
          using PCIe Dell branded Intel XF111 (dual GigE NIC, it's like the PRO 1000 MT but full height only)
          it's using the "em" driver

          like the other guys, works like a charm but the VLAN interfaces show as down and no traffic stats or graphs are drawn as a result.

          OMG, i DO have to congratulate the pfsense team on the general awesomeness of the firewall. so far i am LOVING 2.0 and it resolves pretty much every little issue i've had with 1.x, provided it works as it should, i'll gladly put this in all of our customers with a donation for each install. you guys need to be paid for your hard work…

          one other niggle, i WAS running the July 26 snapshot & cpu load wasn't working, now it is but i prefer the OLD graph. the new one is too small. any way to increase the size to say like the size of the traffic graphs?

          another thing, i'm sure its my system but on the VGA output it keeps displaying
          "acpi_tz0: _TMP value is absurd, ignored (-80.0C)"
          if i disable acpi it stops displaying, are there any negative side effects of disabling acpi?

            I am aware of this and will fix it eventually in the runs and report here when resolved.

              Same problem with latest builds…

              Interface is down and no traffic graphs on the Dashboard.
              Status is down on the page "Status: Interfaces"

              But "Status: Traffic Graph" is working for vlans.

                I found another problem about vlans (at least).
                When switching an interface from a static ip with DHCP server enable to DHCP (client), the DHCP server seem to stay enable. And this interface get an IP from pfsense DHCP server himself…

                This is not really a problem but it's still not normal.
