      Hi:

      I tried to test 2.1 but encountering following problems:

      1. Squidguard3 packages fails to install.

      2. GB nics (bge and em) are shown only 100mbits only

      3. Internet drops frequently in WAN which gets back after rebooting.

        The first problem was solved after upgrading the firmware released on 20130619.

        I tried to specify manually the speed and duplex in the interface settings to '1000T Base Full-Duplex', but the entire interface stopped responding.

        ifconfig -m bge0
        …..
        supported media:
        media autoselect mediaopt flowcontrol
        media autoselect
        media 1000baseT mediaopt full-duplex,master
        media 1000baseT mediaopt full-duplex
        media 1000baseT mediaopt master
        media 1000baseT
        media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex
        media 100baseTX
        media 10baseT/UTP mediaopt full-duplex
        media 10baseT/UTP

          I have a dual em NIC.
          I've set my LAN/WAN (under the advanced button) "Speed and duplex" settings to "Default (no preference, typically autoselect)".

          Pressing save in the WAN/LAN menu saves some changes regarding DHCPv4 vs. DHCPv6 in the overall config of pfSense, which helps when the interface goes down and backup (If i remember correctly).
          So this should solve your WAN dropping and only getting back after a reboot.

            Yep, 'Default' was what was originally selected, I tried to change only when it didn't work. I defauted back and still no go!

            I have no IPV6 enabled. I changed back to 'Defualt' and saved and rebooted, yet the internet keeps on dying (but WAN interface appears to be active).
