PfSense on Watchguard hardware

ttblum

I'm noticing the Marvel 88e8001 NICs aren't listed in the FreeBSD hardware compatibility, they work OK on the X-Core-e models?

Yes, they work fine supported by the sk(4) driver. They're PCI though so that limits them.

Hi,

As the Bios iso still valid? Tried downloading, looks too small a file (1 MB) and physdiskwrite.exe would fail. Tried another Bios.iso (8MB) and physdisk would succeed.

Thanks

Which file exactly? The FreeDOSBIOS2 file is gzipped and should be ~4.2MB. When I downloaded it a minute ago it still matched the MD5 given in the docs. It's not an ISO which might be causing your problem.

It is the FreeDOSBios2.img.gz file when I download it the size is 1KB (not 1MB as I mentioned before).

Followed the 'Download this image' link

Write to CF fails with error.

Perhaps you downloaded the little padlock picture? The URL given by the hyperlink is correct:
https://sites.google.com/site/pfsensefirebox/home/FreeDOSBios2.img.gz

I have tried two PC's, two different networks and same result.

I am correct that the .gz file should not be 1KB !

Thanks

Yes, you are certainly are right. 1K is far too small, it's probably some error message instead of the real file. How are you downloading it? Just tested it from my pfSense box:

[2.1.4-RELEASE][root@pfsense.fire.box]/tmp(7): fetch -o /tmp https://sites.google.com/site/pfsensefirebox/home/FreeDOSBios2.img.gz
/tmp/FreeDOSBios2.img.gz                      100% of 4239 kB 2180 kBps
[2.1.4-RELEASE][root@pfsense.fire.box]/tmp(8): md5 FreeDOSBios2.img.gz 
MD5 (FreeDOSBios2.img.gz) = 5ebb3f11925a8a78f7829e3ca0823f5d

Seems to be working fine.

Using windows IE,+ right click + save as.

You have given me an idea, I'll use Chrome and try again.

Hmm, just used chrome and it worked :o

stephenw10

Google sites doesn't like IE? ::) If you go to the site and just click the file it takes you to a 'download page' of some sort. I expect you were actually downloading the html for that instead.
I'll add a note to the docs.
