Pfctl: igb0: driver does not support altq

lboregard

hi, i tried 2.2, but had to revert to 2.1.4, because of the following error

there were error(s) loading the rules: pfctl: igb0: driver does not support altq - The line in question reads '[0']:

i have hsfc traffic shaping set up with 2.1.4

hopefully, you can look into this

thanks in advance

Have you Vlans and shaping enable?

Probably the same problem on this thread https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=78975.0.

by the way, it's running on a1sam-2550f-O supermicro motherboard.

It may be related, but it seems like a totally different thing. I'm seeing the same problem, and no VLANs are defined. Just a single WAN and LAN that I'm trying to enable traffic shaper on.

It's a similar issue but different root cause, fixing one would not solve the other.

VLANs are missing ALTQ support in FreeBSD entirely, our patches add in support, but they do not work properly on 2.2 yet.

The igb driver has ALTQ support but only when build a certain special way, which apparently isn't happening properly. If there is not a bug entry for that on https://redmine.pfsense.org/ please open a new bug report there about this.

hi, i was reading a bit more about this issue and i've seen references a good couple of years back.

from what i gather i recollect it has to do with both the freebsd version and the igb driver being used.

this has me wondering .. is the change to freebsd 10 enough to solve the altq issue ? i mean does the igb driver that ships with freebsd 10 support altq ?

i'm asking because im suffering packet loss … i've read posts about disabling hardware LRO (which i tried but didn't seem to make a difference) and TSO (which im trying now).

i'd just like to know how to move forward with the packet loss issue im facing.

lboregard

i need to tell that disabling TSO made a world of difference.

no packet loss manifestations (knock on wood)

i can happily live with 2.1.4 for the foreseeable future :)

It should be fixed on coming snaps.
