"The same interface cannot be selected for local and outside" [Solved]

[mich04]

Hi,
First off love pfsense. On my box I am trying to setup Traffic shaping. When I use the wizard. "traffic_shaper_wizard_multi_all.xml" I get to the "Shaper configuration" screen I only have the option to select my LAN for both the LAN #1 and WAN #1 connections.

My box is fully functional with one WAN and one LAN connection. I looked under interfaces to see if I had to enable the WAN to have the ability to be shaped, but can not find anything.

Your WAN NIC is likely not supported by ALTQ, so you can't use it to shape.  What are you using for NICs?

SUPPORTED DEVICES
    The driver modifications described in altq(9) are required to use a
    certain network card with ALTQ.  They have been applied to the following
    hardware drivers: ae(4), age(4), alc(4), ale(4), an(4), ath(4), aue(4),
    axe(4), bce(4), bfe(4), bge(4), bxe(4), cas(4), cxgbe(4), dc(4), de(4),
    ed(4), em(4), ep(4), epair(4), et(4), fxp(4), gem(4), hme(4), igb(4),
    ipw(4), iwi(4), ixgbe(4), jme(4), le(4), msk(4), mxge(4), my(4), nfe(4),
    nge(4), npe(4), qlxgb(4), ral(4), re(4), rl(4), rum(4), sf(4), sge(4),
    sis(4), sk(4), ste(4), stge(4), ti(4), txp(4), udav(4), ural(4), vge(4),
    vr(4), vte(4), wi(4), and xl(4).

The ndis(4) framework also has support for ALTQ and thus all encapsulated
    drivers.

The tun(4) and ng_iface(4) pseudo drivers also do support ALTQ.

So here are the devices I am using.

usb - ethernet    AX88179

and

builtin - RTL8111/8168/8411

Yea I saw that on another post about 10 minutes ago. So yea looks like it is not supported that is a bummer is there a way to implement something else?

[mich04]

Well I just saw limiters. Maybe I will try that.

is there a way to implement something else?

Use a supported NIC.

I actually figured out my actually figured out my problem. My setup is

Cable provider - Cable modem - USB nic PFsense - builtin nic - dd-wrt router running in router mode. The QOS was setup on the router with the wan settings I guess even when it is disabled it still takes the limits into consideration. I re-enabled the QOS on the router and set the limts to match the lan cables. 50 mb bandwidth to 1000 mb I then limited the bandwidth for a few devices after looking at darkstat. now I had 10 devices going all streaming 1080p video in addition to my 5 motion cameras using motion and there was no lag, typically I have at least 20-30 devices on my network. That is why I was looking into QOS on pfsense since it is on a laptop with a broken monitor.

The laptop is

AMD C-60 APU with Radeon HD Graphics
2 CPUs: 1 package(s) x 2 core(s)

running ram is

21% of 5721 MiB

Do you know of any usb network cards that could work? I would consider buying one.
The laptop has a wifi card which is

AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter

I was considering turning it on as a guest network but I am not sure how well it would do as an access point.

Sorry, no.  The pfSense people typically do not recommend using Ethernet over USB at all.  I assume USB is your only option?

It is ok, this was just a broken laptop that someone stepped on. I was just bringing life to it. This stuff is more of a hobby. I will look into some other things. It is a huge step up from the Cisco Valet M10 v1 router. Thanks for all the help.
