I installed it Sunday using the current daily build and immediately found several show-stoppers for my configuration. This was a fresh install, not an upgrade.

It would not accept a user-specified MAC address on my WAN interface. The field is still there, but it doesn't save/apply it to the interface.

It would not release the DHCP address on my WAN interface (I was attempting to work around issue 1). It looks like that's maybe a FreeBSD issue, but not sure about that.

It would not save my OpenVPN client password. Again, the field is there, it just doesn't save anything. The forum link you posted says OpenVPN is working, though… I dunno, maybe a regression bug? Or maybe if you upgrade it's still there, but it doesn't get saved on a new install?

In any case, pfS is good stuff and I'm happy to wait for stable code. It's not like 2.2.5 has any major issues.
