Upgrade from 2.4.4-p3 to 2.4.5 usb network keeps dropping
-
I have two home systems with different hardware. They are both using a 1gb usb network dongle for the wan connection. After the upgrade to 2.4.5 the ue0 device keeps dropping the connection. On one of my systems I tried a 100M usb network dongle and it still had dropping issues. I had to revert to 2.4.4-p3 to keep my systems up.

What error did you see? The NIC dropping the link or the device being disconnected from the USB?
Unfortunately USB NICs are not well thought if in pfSense/FreeBSD and with good reason. Many can be very flaky.
I'm not aware of any particular change that would have affected this but there may well have been driver changes for your particular hardware. What device are you trying to use?Steve

I was seeing ping errors and dropped links. I also had the device disconnect so I had to reboot to get it working again. On one of the systems I have NUT running and that also had problems. I have since changed computers so I have PCIe nics instead of usb nics. .

A wise decision.
