      Dear All,

      I have serious issue with two pfsense boxes 2.1.5 running squid.

      The Wan card is flapping randomly for less than 3 minutes.

      Sometimes it happens 3 times a day.

      Below the log from dmesg.

        Which NIC is in each of these boxes? I had a similar issue when I was using a newer Mini-ITX board with an onboard Realtek 8111 series NIC. I added an extra PCI-express NIC to take the place of the onboard NIC and all the problems went away.
