USB Adapter for DMZ not working(Netgear FA101)?
-
To be honest I have no idea why it's flapping like that. There have been other reports of flapping interfaces with solutions on the forum here.
There are a number of ways of running a command at boot time, see:

Can you suggest a usb network card(not wireless though) that pfsense gets along with well?

I can't I'm afraid. For a time I ran a Belkin USB adapter but it was really only as a test and it was under 1.2.3 and I can't find it now to get the part number anyway. ::)
I just noticed though that in your first post the adapter is reporting the media as 10baseT yet it is 100Mb capable, are you forcing this?
Most of the other issues people had with flapping, here for instance, seem to be caused by forcing a setting on the adapter.

Definitely have not forced it, just seemed to decide it wanted to be that way for some reason. Running it on a netgate alix board so not sure if that could be part of the problem or not.
-
It shouldn't make any difference on the Alix. What is it connected to at the other end? Is that forcing it 10Mb?
In the first post was that when it wasn't working? What is the interface status when it is working?Steve

Status is the same regardless of working or not(first post was working though). The other end is a dell server(10/100/1000 adapter) and cable is also capable of 100.
-
The fact that it's showing the connection as 10baseT and not 100 indicates a problem to me. Does the Dell server also see the connection as 10baseT?
One end is not auto negotiating properly for some reason.Steve
-
100baseTX auto on the dell server side, which is what it's capable of.
-
Well the fact that the two ends are showing different connection types is not good!
If auto-negotiation is not working, for whatever reason, try setting them both to 100Mbps full duplex manually.Steve

Ended up buying a trendnet usb to ethernet adapter for $7 at radio shack. Works great, no bouncing, negotiates at 100mb. Definitely adapter related.
