On EVERY boot, pfSense ignores config
-
Every time I boot, pfSense wants me to manually re-configure everything and ignores the existing config...
Loaded pfSense on a machine and copied my back-up file and the machine worked flawlessly. The machine worked fine on re-boots.
Moved the hard drive to a new machine and moved the same ethernet cards also. Booted and pfSense ignored the config and had me re-set up all of the NICs and ignored all of the old settings.
Re-loaded the old back-up and everything was fine until a re-boot. pfSense again ignored the config and wants me to manually reconfigure all the NICs again.
Reinstalled pfSense (current version) and its the same situation.
I can not get this machine to boot without it ignoring the config.
Any ideas on what's going on and how to fix?

So, it seems that the problem is that pfSense doesn't like re0 NIC MAC change.
After I re-load the config, you have to manually (CLI) re-setup the re0 and re1 WAN/LAN. After you do that it seems to behave correctly.

re0 and re1 WAN/LAN
Put these Realtek NIC's where they belong : anywhere, except in (your) network environment.
Because we're in the 'recycle age' : give them to some one else. Like your worst enemy. -

Sorry, couldn't resist ...
