I suspect the troubles have more to do with FreeBSD 8.x. We're not exactly talking about the newest code here (FreeBSD 8.0 was originally released in late 2009) and I'm pretty sure that the newest drivers were backported from ones Intel wrote for FreeBSD 9.x and 10.x. I think most of the issues we've been having with the newer Intel parts will go away with pfSense 2.2.

The next snapshots should be fine with regards to ALTQ and the new drivers imported.

Great. Is there a specific date I should be looking for on the snapshot or are they ready now?
-
Thanks ermal. Will new installations with igb have to change something to get altq to work or will the default work?

There is a set that is uploading now that is from just before his change. The next set after this will be fixed.

No tweaking as expected.
Next coming snapshot should have it. -

Great, thanks guys. I'll give it a try on my backup box as soon as I see the next snapshot.

I just installed the latest snapshot and altq works. I didn't lose the multiple queues in the process either so I think this is a win-win. Now I just need 2.1.1 to go gold so I can upgrade my master system as well as my backup and bring up some 10Gbe goodness.

I also upgraded a non critical but used heavily cluster yesterday. I upgraded the backup member yesterday to…
2.1.1-PRERELEASE (amd64)
built on Wed Jan 22 16:56:12 EST 2014
FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p14and no issues for a day and altq still worked. I upgraded the primary about 3 hours ago which got the 23rd snapshot. No issues but I upgraded them from an old 2.1.0 RC1 candidate from several months ago.

You're running both members of a production cluster on 2.1.1 snapshots? I ask because I've had a few instaboots on my backup box.

I had 1 cluster member on 1.2.1 prerelease and the other on 1.2.0 RC1 for about a day with the backup (1.2.1) as master. I just upgraded both to 1.2.1 pre-release. We will see how it goes.
This network doesn't have any complex configuration but I do use it to test new things I want to use in other production environments. It is mainly to offload web traffic to a cable modem and some other non-critical uses that does stress the connection at times. I have redundancies built into the proxy setup I implemented internally so that any downtime will shift the traffic to the production internet connection within about 10 seconds of web requests timing out (perl script that runs constantly and switches out proxy configs to a backup link if it fails).
