        Anything in the Gateways log at all?

        Can you post your /var/etc/apinger.conf here?

          This also happened when I gitsync'd this box late last year.  I since reloaded the box from a fresh 2.1 release and have run it from that since. It had not been gitsync'd this time around.

          This upgrade to 2.1.1  was done via "automatic firmware update".

            Just did a firmware update to latest (built on Mon Jan 20 06:37:26 EST 2014 ) and the gateway is now showing up.  :)

            Possible config.xml past entry issue?

                  I have to restart the apinger service to make it work on mine, I have had to do that on the last few builds.
                  I'm not using MLPPP, just a single PPPoE connection.
                  Also all firewall NAT port forwarding doesn't work on this build until I edit one which causes a reload.

                    That worked for me as well.  This was the only box I had running that didn't have the "services status" widget on the dashboard so I missed that it wasn't running.

                    added this to the general log-

                    | Jan 22 23:47:14 | syslogd: kernel boot file is /boot/kernel/kernel |
                    | Jan 22 23:47:14 | kernel: pid 78831 (syslogd), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) |
