      So I've recently swapped my firewall to the newer D-1537 supermicro board from the C2758 atom.

      I had major issues with this but found a "work around" which is either a bug in the code or something?

      Anyhow, the issues:

      1.)  Package install of freeradius WILL hang doing a fresh install then restore config.  Hangs approximately at the executing custom php commands.

      2.) Once restored, the firewall routing is severely crippled, cannot route over openvpn clients on some interfaces even when the vpn is up.  Once down, going through default route, works ONLY if firewall rules has a route through OPENVPN gateway.

      Solutions:

      1.)  Once fresh install is done, install freeradius prior to doing restore config.  This seems to work, not sure why though.  I only have 3 packages, AVAHI, Freeradius and openvpn client export.

      2.) After restoring the config, the firewall is crippled, again, restore the same configuration again, once restored a second time, everything seems to work, no issues with routing and openvpn.

      Maybe devs/admin can look into this, it would be frustrating for some production environments to run into this, luckly this is in my home and I still have my old atom C2758 server to fall back on.
