      My Wifi isn't really working as it should, since the certificates seem to get regenerated every once in a while. There also seem to be radius restarts and also sometimes the service just stops.
      This happens, when I recovered from a pfsense backup (2.1.5 amd64  and freeradius2 2.1.12_1/2.2.5_3 pkg v1.6.10).

      Here are some excerpts

      I log into /var/log/radius.log (this block of messages keeps repeating):

Sat Jan  3 09:29:39 2015 : Error: Failed to load virtual server <default></default>

      This is from /var/log/system.log:

      Help would be much appreciated.

        My issue seems to be related to this one:
        https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=76969.0

        I also changed my interface names prior to restoring the config. Anyhow I did not replace any strings within any certificates (AFAIR).
