      No solution but here is some more info.

      I have one firewall that is not showing the problem.
      2.0-ALPHA-ALPHA
      built on Sat Jul 25 23:59:13 EDT 2009
      FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p2
      CPU Type  Pentium III/Pentium III Xeon/Celeron (Old Dell XPS system)
      Platform  pfSense
      Interfaces: DC0, XL0, XL1

      Thanks for comment.  I have checked site http://snapshots.pfsense.org/ - there's no versions with FreeBSD 7 there. In other words - folder http://snapshots.pfsense.org/FreeBSD_7/ is empty. Stompro, do you have distributive of 2.0-ALPHA-ALPHA built on Sat Jul 25 23:59:13 EDT 2009? Can you upload it anywhere (Rapidshare for example)? I will check it too… I have checked folders http://snapshots.pfsense.org/FreeBSD_8_0/ and  http://snapshots.pfsense.org/FreeBSD_RELENG_8_0/pfSense_HEAD/livecd_installer/ folders - there's no old versions there...Can anybody help to find old PFsense version? Thanks.

        We will not provide any old versions, 7.x versions of 2.0 are long gone. You'll just have to wait until things get fixed in FreeBSD 8.

          May be - you have old version of PFSense on FreeBSD 8  (2.0-ALPHA-ALPHA built on Sat Jul 25 23:59:13 EDT 2009 FreeBSD 8)?
          Where I can download it?  I only want to help PFSense project to solve problem more quickly. So if you will let to download some  old version - i can help to find where exactly bug appeared.

            CMB,
              Can you provide some guidance on how Maxk and I should help to get this particular bug figured out.  Should we try a vanilla Freebsd 8 install to see if the problem is there, and then file a bug with the FreeBSD project if it is?  Should we open a bug report on redmine?  Is this a known issue that is being worked on and we should just chill for a few weeks?
            Thanks

                  Scott, I tested the 12/14/09 snapshot and it appears to have fixed the problem on my test system.  With 512mb of ram, the wired memory initially climbs to 39M and then stays there.  I don't know what this fix was so I don't know who to thank, but thank you for letting us know that we should test it again.

                  Hey maxk, did it work for you also?

                    I have tested version pfSense-2.0-ALPHA-20091221-2130.iso and still can see the problem.

                      Additionally here is System activity. You can see - wired memory too large. Stompro, what exactly snapshot have you tested from 12/14/09? Have you checked RRD graphs in  snapshot from 12/14/09? Are they working? In pfSense-2.0-ALPHA-20091221-2130 RRD graphs show nothing. Have you tested BandwidthD in  snapshot from 12/14/09? Is it working?  In pfSense-2.0-ALPHA-20091221-2130 BandwidthD installs fine but can not start as a service. Have you seen such problem?  Thanks.

                        I think I spoke too soon, I tried a new snapshot on Monday, and as of today from light testing the wired memory usage has grown to 57M.

                        Can anyone point me to where I can find more info about what causes this problem?
