Lanner 7573 Support
-
Does anyone know if pfSense could be made to run on the Lanner 8893C? (since we're talking about high end Lanner devices here…)

The Colleto Creek QA parts won't work. We have a few of these internally, but decided to concentrate on AES-NI first.
-
It's got a different LCD modules to previous Lanner devices so the driver mentioned above probably won't work. That may not concern you. ;)
Edit: Already confirmed as working in the first post. Presumably not all the buttons function.

I would have expected the 7573 to use EFI like the 7575 does. Unless I misunderstood, 2.1.3 can't boot on an EFI machine, right?
(I'd love to boot my 7575 without ESXi installed. It's a nightmare.)

Why do you think that? I would think that only problem if it has a non-disableable secure boot.

I guess BIOS compatibility in UEFI firmware is more common than I understood.
I was able to boot from a USB key with the 2.1.3 memstick/serial image on it.
However, I was not able to get all the way to the web server and the UI. I seem to get stuck indefinitely at "Configuring WAN interface…" which in this case is igb4, an Intel 82580DB. All interfaces were correctly identified during setup.
-
Is the WAN actually connected and receiving and IP? It can take a while to timeout otherwise. NTP too.

Yes, it's connected, but it's a static IP and there's no upstream DHCP server. How long is the timeout here? There was no progress for 30 minutes.
-
Not that long and not at all if it's not waiting for DHCP. Maybe 30s max for ntp, probably less I've never timed it.
You have some other issue there.Steve

Any tips for debugging it?
-
Should probably start a new thread for this different model.

To the OP: how's it going with your FW-7573? Are you running the 2.2 betas now? Any update on compat or performance?

Hi guys,
I plan to buy a Lanner 7573A.
Any news about the i210 issues ?
Does it works well on 2.2.X ?Thanks
