        Hmm, not seeing that on a test box with a bridge here. I don't have a wifi interface in there though.

        Do you see any errors in the boot log?

          @stephenw10 I see nothing of interest by way of errors in the OS Boot log. I can make it available to you if appropriate. I have also extracted the config portion of the XML file if that would be of help.

          This seems to have manifested itself sometime around the switch from BSD version 12 to 14. This is pure speculation on my part.

            Try booting in verbose mode if you can. That might reveal more.

            It can change the timing/ordering at boot so if you find the bridge comes up correctly that could also be a clue.

            I'll try and bridge a wifi device to test.

              @stephenw10 How do I invoke verbose boot mode?

                Interrupt the boot at the loader menu to reach the prompt. There run boot -v

                That will boot verbose one time only.

                  @stephenw10 Verbose boot certainly is verbose but nothing caught my attention and the LAN (bridge0) IP address was not set. Had to do it manually again.

                    @stephenw10 I just noticed on the WLAN configuration that "Speed and Duplex" is at "------ Media Supported by this interface ------".

                    It is not set. When I attempt to change it to "Default (no preference, typically autoselect)" and save, I am sent an email notification as follows:

                    19:32:00 Netgate pfSense Plus is restoring the configuration /cf/conf/backup/config-1668474770.xml

                    And the change is not saved.

                      Ok, I'm also seeing that. Investigating...

                      https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/13663

                      The patch there looks good.

                        @stephenw10 I see the fix is in. I'll confirm with tomorrows build.

                        Thanks for drilling down to the root cause.

                              It's not reliably replicable here. I thought it was tied to having a wifi interface there but it isn't.

                              It only happens on a test box I have a load of other config on so it looks like a timing or dependency issue perhaps.

                              Do either of you have packages installed there? Anything else unusual configured?

                                  Hmm, reviewing your initial output again it looks as though it's only the IPv4 config missing from the bridge. Not, for example, the description. That is missing from my test device and I'd expect it to be if the interface is not configured as LAN. Yours appears to have had the description set whilst not the IPv4 address. Is that still the case?

                                  On my test box there is also a significant delay between most of the bootup finishing and the system actually logging 'bootup complete' Are you seeing that too?
                                  I'm still digging into that but it seems entirely possible it's related.

                                    @stephenw10 IPv4 is all I have configured (no IPv6).

                                    "Yours appears to have had the description set whilst not the IPv4 address. Is that still the case?"

                                    Yes

                                    To elaborate,

                                      @stephenw10 The description is NOT there and is consistent with your observations.

                                      I had created the first set of text by editing the second set and failed to remove the description line when I removed the inet line. I was doing it in this manner as I had no LAN access in the first instance, only VGA console.

                                      Sorry for the oversight, that was sloppy on my part.

                                        I am having the same issue on my SG-1100 where I had bridged the two internal (LAN OPT) interfaces. I am awaiting tomorrows snapshot to see if this fixes the issue from the redmine issue.

                                          It is not fixed. The cause is not know yet.

                                          At least we are seeing the same thing though, it appears to not be applying the config at all.

                                          Any of you also seeing the delay in completing boot on the logs? In my case it can be seen more clearly at the console where it waits for 10mins during boot.

                                            @stephenw10 Boot time for me at VGA console is 56 seconds. Nothing inordinate in the OS boot log.
