      I am attempting to upgrade from pfSense 2.1.5 to 2.2.2.  After applying the upgrade, I can no longer talk to the Internet.  This happens whether I use the auto-update feature, or if I perform a fresh install and restore my config.xml.

      After poking around, it seems like it's setting the default route incorrectly.  Under 2.1.5, my routing table looks like this.  As you might guess, the LAN interface is em0; the WAN interface is bge0:

      $ netstat -rn
      Routing tables
      
      Internet:
      Destination        Gateway            Flags    Refs      Use  Netif Expire
      default            173.228.113.1      UGS         0      175   bge0
      10.0.0.0/16        link#1             U           0      344    em0
      10.0.0.1           link#1             UHS         0       88    lo0
      10.3.0.0/16        link#7             U           0        0 em0_vl
      10.3.0.1           link#7             UHS         0        0    lo0
      127.0.0.1          link#5             UH          0       63    lo0
      173.228.113.0/24   link#2             U           0       44   bge0
      173.228.113.XXX    link#2             UHS         0        0    lo0
      [ ... ]
      

      After performing a fresh install of 2.2.2 and restoring the 2.1.5 config, my routing table becomes this:

      $ netstat -rn
      Routing tables
      
      Internet:
      Destination        Gateway            Flags      Netif Expire
      default            10.0.0.1           UGS         em0
      10.0.0.0/16        link#1             U           em0
      10.0.0.1           link#1             UHS         lo0
      10.3.0.0/16        link#7             U      em0_vlan
      10.3.0.1           link#7             UHS         lo0
      127.0.0.1          link#5             UH          lo0
      173.228.113.0/24   link#2             U          bge0
      173.228.113.XXX    link#2             UHS         lo0
      [ ... ]
      

      Everything else looks correct, but the default route is clearly nuts.  In both cases, the WebGUI correctly shows WANGW as 173.228.113.1, so I can't understand why it's selecting the LAN interface for the default route.

      What might I have messed up?

          I don't think so.  Both still have the correct IP addresses, the WAN's gateway has the correct WANGW IP address, and the LAN's gateway is set to "None," as the instructions on that page dictate.

            So, no clues, then?  Should I file a bug?

            Normally I'd just go, "Meh," and set everything back up from scratch, except that I have a long-ish list of static DHCP assignments for the LAN that I'd rather not have to type in again.

              Are those actually assigned to WAN and LAN properly? Look at the Interfaces - Assign screen.

                Set up by hand and then do a restore, selecting ONLY DHCP settings … from your config.xml  ;)

                  Just reloaded 2.2.2 to check:  Yes, the WebGUI reports both interfaces assigned properly – bge0 is WAN, and em0 is LAN.

                    I didn't know you could selectively restore bits of the config.  If this problem persists, I will definitely check that out.
