      Hi,

      Anyone ecounter watchdog timeout Issue?
      When I download Files (28g) from server behind re0, the server beening unreachable after amount of time :(
      I can still ping re0 interface but cannot ping devices behind re0.

      my pfsense config:
      pfsense 2.2.4
      Asus J1900i-c
      4GB Ram
      Onboard realtek 8111g –---- re0
      Intel dual port 82576 lan ---------- wan, lan

      ----------wan-----------------
      ------------|--------------------
      --------pfsense---------------

            It seem solved after enabling Flow Control and Master on my re0 interface.

            also need to add parameters in /boot/loader.conf
            hw.re.msi_disable=1
            hw.pci.enable_msix=0
            hw.pci.enable_msi=0

            I am not network expert, I dont know what these parameters but these two steps save my life. :D

            PS. This steps also solved my old old old issue: network performance 50% of gigabit speed

              Hi,
              I'm also having the same problem I got frequent re0 (LAN) watchdog timeout issue, with the powerd off no such problem.

              So, may I ask you how to enable the flowcontrol and master?

              Thanks!

                  I'm having these issues, I have no "Native" interfaces though, they are all VLANs, any way to set this on the base interface?

                    You could do it with the shellcmd package.

                      Hi apologise for resurrecting an old thread but how do you add the parameters to the boot\loader?

                      Thanks

                        You "add" to "loader.conf.local"  ;)

                          The above did not solve my problem alone rather a combination.

                          What fixed it for me was uploading a compiled version of realtek driver 1.92 if_re.ko to /boot/kernel/ and in /boot/loeader.conf.local add the following line: if_re_load="YES" then reboot and wupti.

                          I also however tick the 3 Disable hardware offloadings in System - Advanced - Networking

                          Heres some links that helped me solve my issue including the compiled if_re.ko, i hope it helps others having same problem.

                            @Areomayo:

                            The above did not solve my problem alone rather a combination.

                            What fixed it for me was uploading a compiled version of realtek driver 1.92 if_re.ko to /boot/kernel/ and in /boot/loeader.conf.local add the following line: if_re_load="YES" then reboot and wupti.

                            I also however tick the 3 Disable hardware offloadings in System - Advanced - Networking

                            Heres some links that helped me solve my issue including the compiled if_re.ko, i hope it helps others having same problem.

                            How did you upload that compiled file to the /boot/kernel? I'm ready to do this and can't figure it out (I'm new to this – obviously).

                            Thanks!
