      I bought a device, and when I went to check the system information, there were two things wrong with the return.

      1. Login to webui for pfsense
      The BIOS information is displayed as: Version: ���CPU Internal L2
      On a previous Dell Server this reported the Vendor, Version and Release date:
      Vendor: Dell Inc.
      Version: 2.10.0
      Release Date: Thu May 24 2018
      

      But when I use another system, it doesn't show this information. I would like to know why this is, can anyone help explain? Thank you very much!
      2. Similarly, when I enter the dmidecode command, I also have a problem.

      invalid entry length (0). DMI table is broken!
      

      However, I have not encountered this problem on other systems.
      I'm confused now ...... I don't know if this is a problem with my hardware product or if there is something wrong with the pfsense system.
      I'm using PfSense 2.6.0 device with 4G RAM, 16G emmc hard drive, cpu is intel N3450

        Check the output of: kenv

        Make sure the BIOS is current. The broken DMI table is being passed by the BIOS so ask Dell. It's probably not hurting anything though.
