        That is good news to hear!!

        I went ahead and deleted the /root/pfsense folder so it would point me back to the main code, git://github.com/bsdperimeter/pfsense.git
        . then gitsync

        After the system reboot I noticed 2 new errors:

        Warning: Unexpected character in input: "" (ASCII=92) state=1 in /etc/inc/pkg-utils.inc on line 556

        Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '"' in etec/inc/pkg-utils.inc on line 556

          oops, sorry, didn't see this when I posted HERE asking the same thing.

          looks like the answer is yes tho, it should be:
          git://github.com/bsdperimeter/pfsense.git
          now

            That's due to a missing " in line 556, you can fix that by adding a " before the \n" so that it looks like this:```
            pkg_debug(gettext("ERROR! Unable to fetch package configuration file. Aborting installation.") . "\n");

              Thanks iFloris! I didn't have a chance to look at the file before I posted but wanted to let the devs now so it can be fix in the code.

                Ok just to be clear, maybe the last commit fixed error on line 550?  But 556 is still broke.

                I just changed over the new branch, and change git sync url, etc.

                Did an update too
                2.1-DEVELOPMENT (i386)
                built on Thu Jul 14 01:23:35 EDT 2011

                Even ran a manual gitsync, and still was getting error had to manually go in and add the " on this line
                pkg_debug(gettext("ERROR! Unable to fetch package configuration file. Aborting installation.") . "\n");

                in /etc/inc/pkg-utils.inc

                    My HE tunnel wont up after a gitsync/reboot today.

                    Looking at the changes, I believe this change: https://github.com/bsdperimeter/pfsense/commit/87f0f42c3230ad7ad15b14a8a9d63c58f8b2e379 is the cause. When i hand-type the code back in that was removed and reboot; my interface comes up.

                      I just did a gitsync, and got the latest commits - the one your talking about, and rebooted and my HE tunnel came up no problems.

                      Now it was odd before the reboot after the gitsync I was seeing a crash error on the UI that would not seem to go away.  Odd, it had no details in it, close it, send it and it would just pop back up.

                      But everything seems to be working currently

                        Is your subnet mask 64bits or 128bits for your tunnel? Mines 64-bit

                        I was able to get it to work after clicking save/apply under the interface configuration page. IPv6 code has had a similar issue a couple of months ago to where we had to manually add a route or click save/apply..

                        see post http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,32721.msg179781/topicseen.html#msg179781

                          I'm having to do the same save/apply business. To make matters worse my DSL was in and out all day yesterday and it was leaving the tunnel down every time the DSL came back up. Talk about annoying having to go in and do that every few minutes lol. I finally gave up on it and surfed from bed with my phone lol. Grrrr, seems to be doing it again. In any case my tunnel is a /64. IIRC the direction say to do /128 or /120 but my tunnel wouldn't come up with that config. Since HE's site  says /64 for the tunnel I figured it should be /64 on my end as well (same logic as different subnets on a LAN, they won't always talk to each other).

                            Mine is /128 There was some issues with that a while back.  You can bring it up /64 and then just change it to /128

                              When I first setup the tunnel we had to use 128 but it has resolve so we can use the 64 subnet that HE assigned to us for the tunnel. After my update yesterday, my tunnel wont come up with a 64 subnet but will come up with 128 subnet… I'm wondering if the code that was removed was a workaround to get the tunnel to come up using 64bit subnet... idk tho...

                                Currently running the 05:55:15 snapshot from 7/15 and whenever my DSL hiccups the v6 WAN still won't come back up by itself, it stays in "gathering data" according to the gateways widget. Obviously I'd love to get the DSL fixed and this probably wouldn't be a problem but alas it's not my house. It affects my grandfather just as much as it does me so you think he would be annoyed by it too. Two days ago when this started he said he would call Bellsouth and see if they can fix it but I have no idea if he did or if anyone ever came out to look at it (normally does this when we get a heavy rain so me things something is attenuating on the line somewhere which granted may not be an easy fix).

                                Anyway, both my WANv6 and GIF configs are still using a /64. They are the same v6 address space though (7, LAN is 8) so if I change it to a /128 should I change the gif tunnel settings or the WANv6 settings or both? Any chance this will even fix the problem? Note that we do have a static V4 IP from Bellsouth so the IP isn't changing causing this issue.

                                  I am using 128 for the gif interface config and 126 on the interfaces page. That comes up reliably after failure for me and reboots.

                                    Just changed mine to match, lets see what happens. IIRC after a reboot it was up, it was only when the DSL would hiccup and go offline. DSL/WAN would come back up but it's like it wouldn't reestablish the tunnel. It's gone down several times today but not in the last couple of hours. We'll see.

                                      Looks like we're good. DSL just went out, watched the gateways on the dashboard and both came up at the same time just as they are supposed to.

                                        Hello everybody,

                                        I just pointed out a little bug and have a feature to request for the DHCPv6 Server.

                                        The bug :
                                        On the DHCPv6 page, when you have a non-common bitmask, showed range is incorrect. My exemple :

                                        Address                XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX::1
                                        Subnet mask 65 bits
                                        Available range XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:0:0:0:1 - XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff

                                        The available range should be :
                                        Available range XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:0:0:0:1 - XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:7fff:ffff:ffff:ffff

                                        and when specifying XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:0:0:0:1 - XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff to the dhcp server, the server starts but doesn't deliver addresses on the network.

                                        The feature :
                                        You should add a checkbox allowing to disable the "Autonomous address-configuration", setting the rtadvd option "pinfoflags" to 0 (or "") for the interface.
                                        In my case, i need to disable this to keep the router advertisement but not to have autoconfigurated addresses or subnets delivered (because i have several different subnets linked to the same interface).

                                        Thanks to everyone for your excellent work on the IPv6 part !

                                        –- EDIT ---

                                        An old bug reappeared :

                                        In line 736, you should change :

                                        $dhcpdv6conf .= "            deny unknown clients;\n";
                                        

                                        by

                                        $dhcpdv6conf .= "            deny unknown-clients;\n";

                                          I added tickets on the two issues you mentioned.
                                          http://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/1725
                                          http://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/1726

                                          The last one, deny unknown-clients is correct in mainline, maybe you're still syncing from Seth's old branch? You don't have the latest code somehow.

                                            Thanks to you for adding tickets.

                                            In effect, i hadn't changed the repo URL.
                                            But I changed it now and ran a fresh gitsync from "https://github.com/bsdperimeter/pfsense.git", and the "deny unknow clients" bug is still there.
                                            Am i doing something wrong ? Is this the good URL ?

                                            Thanks for your answers !
