Latest snapsot wireless bridged as well as static not working

cmb

i have tried it with 7.2 and its the same, doesnt work in spite of me playing with almost all settings in the gui as well as using those commands, the mtu shows as it used to in 7.1

what do your /tmp/ath0_setup.sh and /tmp/bridge0_config files contain? What is the result if you run those commands manually?

xbipin

this is what i get when i enable wireless from the GUI initially and in which wireless clients cant get ip using dhcp as well as manually configuring cant surf

and when i try to laod file /tmp/ath0_setup and /tmp/bridge0_setup it says file not found

xbipin

when i run the ifconfig bridge0 destroy then the cpu usage jumps to 100% and remains like that only till the time i disable wireless from the GUI

wallabybob

and when i try to laod file /tmp/ath0_setup and /tmp/bridge0_setup it says file not found

On my system (1.2.3-RC1 built on Mon Apr 13 16:35:28 EDT 2009 ) there is no /tmp/ath0_setup but there is a /tmp/ath0_setup.sh and there is no /tmp/bridge0_setup but there is a /tmp/bridge0_config.

xbipin

/tmp/ath0_setup.sh gives

#!/bin/sh

Once the bridge is successfully created and wireless is working, are both the LAN interface and wireless interface supposed to be in promiscuous mode?

Thats what my ifconfig shows on a working system.

Also, in the GUI, when I go to Status/Interfaces, LAN and ATH are both listed as learning in Bridge0

covex

anybody knows what happened to the "install embedded kernel" option in the LiveCD installer? I caqn't find it in 7.3

@onhel:

Yes.

AhnHEL

So it looks like from xbipin's output results that even though the mtu is being set correctly with both interfaces and the bridge, the problem is that lan and ath are just not going into promiscuous mode.

What if they manually enable promiscuous mode:

ifconfig vr0 promisc
ifconfig ath0 promisc

covex

here is what it says in my ath0_setup.sh on 1.2.3 (7.2)

#!/bin/sh
# pfSense wireless configuration script.

# enable shell debugging
set -x
/bin/ps awwuxx | grep hostapd | grep ath0 | awk '{ print $2 }' | xargs kill
# Enable ATH distance settings
/sbin/athctrl.sh -i ath0 -d '30'

/sbin/ifconfig ath0 -hidessid
/sbin/ifconfig ath0 -mediaopt adhoc
/sbin/ifconfig ath0 protmode 'rtscts'
/sbin/ifconfig ath0 mode 11g pureg
/sbin/ifconfig ath0 -apbridge

/sbin/ifconfig ath0 authmode open wepmode off
/sbin/ifconfig ath0 txpower '85'
/sbin/ifconfig ath0 mediaopt hostap
ath0_setup.sh: unmodified: line 1

again, just running those ifconfig commands didn't help. had to disable/enable wireless interface

xbipin

tried putting them in promiscuous mode but still doesn't work

Disabling and enabling does nothing different from running the contents of ath0_setup.sh and then bridge0_config. You have to run both though.

xbipin

tried putting wireless standalone without the bridge but with dhcp on it but still the same, atleast the older versions used to work with wireless without the bridge to the lan.

Can you post your status.php? I can't replicate any problems with 7 different ath cards, bridged or not. Going to need more info.

I don'tknow what it does but it helps ;)

One (or more) of you who can replicate problems, can I get remote access into your firewall? Then let me know when the problem occurs so I can log into the box and see what's happening. If you can replicate this problem and will let me into your firewall, please email me (cmb at pfsense dot org) and reference this forum thread.

xbipin

i have mailed u with the access, plz do so asap coz i dont know how long the lease on the ip is going to be from the isp

email sent, please come in :) my ip is not changing

AhnHEL

ok, funny thing.

Once booted, enter GUI and go to Interfaces/LAN

Uncheck or Check Disable the Userland FTP-Proxy application

Hit Save and then Apply.

Bridge is working with proper MTU!

I reproduced this 3 times, test on yours please.

That'll do the same thing as just clicking Save without changing anything.

Pretty sure I have a lead on the cause of this issue, it's some sort of FreeBSD bug, looking for a solution.
