      @cromulon:
      Yes, you can only run the new Suricata package on pfSense-2.4.5 due to changes in some supporting libraries. Right now you have a highly confused pfSense pkg configuration because it has a 2.4.4_p3 base OS but some incorrect libraries downloaded and installed because of the Suricata package that is compiled for pfSense-2.4.5 only.

      If you check the Hardware subform here on the Netgate forums you will find a link for downloading and installing a Realtek binary driver that fixes the watchdog timer issue. Or even better, install an Intel NIC and forget the crappy Realtek.

        I'm not even going to waste my time on realtek, tomorrow I'm ordering the intel PRO/1000 PT 4-port. Think that's a mighty fine investment.

        Also, I just upgraded back to 2.4.5 and the suricata package is back to running. I'm glad I at least reported my problem, and mentioned where I found answers. Often times when looking around the web for issues similar to mine I see the thread die with "nevermind I found a fix". Also, thanks for the quick response, @bmeeks
