      As stated in http://blog.pfsense.org/?p=364 1.2.3 isn't ready for production environment. 1.2.2 is one you should use http://blog.pfsense.org/?p=351

        Hi Perry!
        I know that but working bridge is essential to this setup and one in 1.2.2 is broken as cmb stated so ???
        There is slim chance to go back to 1.2 having in mind this restart problem.

          You can change the following.
          @http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic:

          The quick hack:
          /usr/local/www/interfaces_opt.php (you can open it and paste from Diagnostics -> Edit file)
          find
          $bridgecmd .= " addm $bridgeif stp $bridgeif ";
          and change it to
          $bridgecmd .= " addm $bridgeif ";
          save and reboot

            save and reboot

            Ok. I will try your solution. It will be life sever if bridge come to life again.

            vi and command line is my preferred way ;-))

              Can I modify interfaces.inc like this (from twitter) to get results?

              $bridgecmd = "/sbin/ifconfig bridge{$x} ";
              1627 1627 $lowestmtu = "1500";
              1628 1628 $wirelessbridge = false;
              1629 // iterate through and see if any of the involved interfaces are wireless
              1629 $vlanbridge = false;
              1630 // iterate through and see if any of the involved interfaces are wireless or VLANs
              1630 1631 foreach ($bridgearray[$x] as $bridgeif) {
              1631 1632 $friendlyifname = convert_real_interface_to_friendly_interface_name($bridgeif);
              1632 1633 if(is_interface_wireless($friendlyifname))
              1633 1634 $wirelessbridge = true;
              1635 if(substr($bridgeif,0,4) == "vlan")
              1636 $vlanbridge = true;
              1634 1637 }
              1638
              1635 1639 foreach ($bridgearray[$x] as $bridgeif) {
              1636 1640 // iterate through all the interfaces in this bridge
              1637 1641 // append to the bridgecmd for this interface
              1638 1642 // only use STP if no wireless interfaces are involved
              1639 1643 if($wirelessbridge)
              1644 $bridgecmd .= " addm $bridgeif ";
              1645 elseif (substr($bridgeif,0,4) == "vlan")
              1640 1646 $bridgecmd .= " addm $bridgeif ";
              1641 1647 else
              1642 1648 $bridgecmd .= " addm $bridgeif stp $bridgeif ";

                save and reboot

                I have search inside this file but there is no line with bridgecmd or stp inside.

                  That's in /etc/inc/interfaces.inc

                  It should be fine to use 1.2.3 in production, but given the switch of FreeBSD versions, there is more risk.

                    Yes, I can see that from code posted on Tweeter.
                    If I change that part of code manually would bi that to wise. I am not in position to reinstall pfS for next
                    few day's.

                      You can change it manually, that will work fine. Or on 1.2.2 you can just take out stp in the bridgecmd.

                          Problem solved by applying patch from GIT. If someone need this patch to, I can send patched file by e-mail.
                          TNX to cmb and perry for help.
