      After upgrading to the 2.5.X series, using wpa-supplicant causes pfSense to run at 100% CPU on one core. This is being experienced by me and many others that use the wpa-supplicant to directly attach pfSense to an AT&T Fiber ONT, as well as other use cases that involve wifi radios.

      Killing wpa-supplicant after startup and restarting it fixes the problem. I believe the underlying problem is referenced in this bug: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=252844 and the fix should work in pfSense as well.

      Can we get this put on the list for the next . release? A lot of us are burning excess power by running with this bug in place.

      Thanks!

        There does seem to be some testing being done.

        Positive/Negative responses to testing is encouraged.

        Request mod bump this over to dev category:
