Racoon makes me sad, this tunnel will not stay up!

My IPSEC tunnels have always connected, but sometimes wouldn't reconnect.  I switched to RC3 and a lot of this was fixed.  The only tunnel I have problems with is one over a wireless connection.

If your tunnels are establishing, but no data passing, be sure to double-check your firewall to make sure there are IPSEC rules to allow it.  I forgot to do this after replacing a pfsense router, and it caused me grief.
