That note is from the kmod pkg install which is common to any FreeBSD installation. pfSense uses loader.conf.local specifically so it doesn't apply to us. But we can't easily remove it.

I spoke to soon, the WAN still cycles on/off. I get this error in the logs from the kernel:
arpresolve: can’t allocate llinfo for X.X.X.X on emX
-
What happens just before that when it goes down?
Those logs look normal for when an interface links up.
Are you still running it in in-line mode? I would try it in legacy mode as a test at least. In-line mode requires specific NICs.

@stephenw10 it disconnects and reconnects all by itself. I do still have suricata in inline. I’ll try legacy when I get back from travel on Friday. Thanks for the reminder.
Out of curiosity, does in-line just need intel or specific models of intel?
-
It uses netmap(4) which requires device support:
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=netmap#SUPPORTED_DEVICESThat does include re(4) but actual support can be variable. The Intel drivers are generally better and more likely to work as expected. So, no, any Intel based NIC would be expected to work there AFAIK.

How did it fail? At the mountroot prompt? What that after upgrading or a clean install?
I haven't seen that on any of the 2.7 test boxes I have. Yet.

Ah, could be UFS.... Hmm. Testing....

Re: realtek-re-kmod missing in pfSense 2.6 repository?
Bit off topic but can pfsense be upgraded to 2.7 dev temporarily then “downgraded” to 2.7 release when it comes out? There’s been times I want to try the dev releases but I don’t want to get stuck in that path.
-
Hmm, nope ufs systems updated fine here too. I'll see if any of the devs have seen it.

Yes. When a release comes out you can simply switch to stable and upgrade to it from an earlier snapshot.
What you can't do is 'downgrade' to 2.6 once you've gone to a 2.7 snapshot.Steve

There are several ways

I forgot I’m on PfSense +, what’s the equal to 2.7, 22.09?
-
It's the current dev version which is 22.11. Plus snapshots are not available yet though, we have a few bugs to iron out first. Should be imminent.

Yes, that is what happens because the FreeBSD ABI version is different. However when you switch back to 2.7 it should change back to 14.
You should see the repo pkg upgrade or downgrade in the logs when you do.However I can't replicate that currently. In fact there seems to b exactly the opposite problem; the stable ABI is not updated to 12 so i cannot update from it. Looking at that now.
