bge1@pci0:0:13:1: class=0x020000 card=0x164814e4 chip=0x164814e4 rev=0x10 hdr=0x00When I unplug/restart my modem from Ethernet my network card wont pull an ip via dhcp anymore the interface constantly goes up and down it's completely unstable and requires me to restart my pfsense box every time I restart/unplug my modem from Ethernet to even make it stick but static assignments like lan work fine

I've seen the same problem, can't give exact builds as I'm not at home, but the install at my parents house I believe is currently experiencing the same problem. I work for their ISP, and I'm watching the pfSense install renew DHCP about every 10 seconds. I'm heading over there after work to check on it. I'll post more details later, and then next week at home do some testing to reproduce the issue and see if I can narrow down what's happening.
-
Can you post your system logs?
-
There's nothing in the system logs pertaining to it, that's why I'm asking here. It seems the interface goes up and down and if I do something like dhclient bge1 when it's going up and down it attempts to grab an ip and the interface goes down again. There seems to be a cross build issue because I've had this problem and have been constantly updating for two months now.
-
Post it and let me decide no?
-
Here is the output after I recreated the problem this log clears after reboot(at least in the webui) that's why it didn't say anything

Has any progress been made on this problem yet ?

Thanks for fixing this.

Thanks for fixing this.
What build are you running? Mine needed to be restarted this morning due to a brief storm related service outage. I think I'm a few days behind current though.

Was this fixed? I have been experiencing the issue described above as well. Currently on build:
