Fwe - ethernet over firewire not working

sai

I have 2 pfSense machines connected by their fwe0 ports - I was hoping to use the fwe ports for CARP.
Unfortunately they do not ping each other.

When I do an ifconfig I see this:
rl0: flags=8843 <up,broadcast,running,simplex,multicast>mtu 1500
options=8 <vlan_mtu>inet 10.10.10.150 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 10.255.255.255
inet6 fe80::230:18ff:fea2:b806%rl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
ether 00:30:18:a2:b8:06
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
fwe0: flags=108943 <up,broadcast,running,promisc,simplex,multicast,needsgiant>mtu 1500
options=8 <vlan_mtu>inet 192.168.10.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.10.255
inet6 fe80::30:18ff:fea0:33f4%fwe0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
ether 02:30:18:a0:33:f4
ch 1 dma 0

What does the PROMISC, NEEDSGIANT and dma 0 mean? Anyone have any idea why I can't ping one fwe from another fwe?

I have set up rules to allow the pings in the fwe interface….not sure of the firewire cable though , have nothing else to test it with.

Ethernet over firewire was removed early on. It was not working correctly to begin with.

sai

removed from FreeBSD or removed from pfSense?

Any hope of this coming back?

If it works down the road it will be added back.
