      After downloading a packet capture and open it with wireshark, it seems data are corrupted. Wireshark said :

      The capture file appears to be damaged or corrupt.
      (pcap: File has 1701323325-byte packet, bigger than maximum of 65535)
      

      Always reproductible. All capture settings are default values. Never append with Pfsense v1.2.3.

        I do packet captures on 1.2.3 systems all the time and they work fine for me.

        Is this a full install or embedded? If it's embedded, install the "Packet Capture Fix" package and see if that makes a difference.

              i386. Today I downgrade to this snapshoot :http://pingle.org/files/pfSense-Full-Update-2.0-BETA4-20101214-1319.tgz
              Same problem. Wireshark is Version 1.2.9 on Win XP SP3.
              I'm not sure : under certain amount (4 ou 5 lines in Pfsense GUI) of datas it seem to work.
              This Pfsense is installed on a vm (Vmware ESX 3.5). Only wan interface is active. Pfsense + Squid 2.x + Lightsquid + Squidguard installed for testing as a proxy.

                HTTP Continuation or non-HTTP traffic is always displayed in info field

                The header is :
