        Can you try your NIC with em-drivers and test what happens?

            high CPU is a symptom of the link cycling, the root cause is the link cycling. Figure out why you're cycling link, what are you plugged into, is there a cabling issue, NIC issue, something else going on there.

              I had a similar issue with some on-board fxp interfaces. I found manually setting them for 100/full-duplex made them stable. It's worth a shot.

                ok  ,  i will try it later..

                but now , i turn off webConfigurator  Protocol (https) , to use http at pfsense…
                then the cpu loading is down....then the NIC is not going down anymore.....

                why ?

                  It's the opposite, the NIC isn't flapping, so the CPU usage goes down. It has nothing to do with whether you're using HTTP or HTTPS, that's a trivial difference in CPU.

                    I really don't know.. but why the process```
                    and [check_reload_status] is continuse high loading....

                      soory .. cmb

                      what resion would cause the NIC flapping ?

                        check_reload_status and PHP have to do many things when link status changes. When it changes non-stop they have to do a lot of things non-stop, using a lot of CPU in the process.

                          I will try to find out the cycling link

                            This is a driver issue.
                            Merge all posts from last 2 weeks and you will clearly see that:
                            a) Cables are OK
                            b) NICs are OK
                            c) Switches are OK
                            d) On some installs like mine there was no change other than pfsense snapshot update…

                            Regards,
                            Greg

                              Thanks a lot fot Greg ….

                              last few days , I check the cables , NIC , Switches . It is really found nothing wrong . And the problem would happen at when I upgrape the kernel.
                              So , I think , It is driver issue , really ! 
                              Thanks~

                                I had the same problem off and on over this past week. I checked everything I could think of then I called my ISP, we ran a series of test and determined it was a bad NIC. I replaced the NIC and haven't had any problems since. Sometimes it's just a simple hardware problem.

                                  Yes, but this is different case…
                                  There are a lot of reports lately about FXP NICs and not all of them have bad hardware...
                                  For bad HW I don`t need to call ISP, I can determine that by myself...
