NIC troubles
-
Hi!
I posted in this thread: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=106554.msg595146#msg595146
But I think it`s best to start new topic…
First of all, I had 0 issues with 2.2.6 and 2.3 BETA snapshots (from about 2 weeks ago).
Now when I unplug pppoe (em3) and plug it back in it won
t reconnect back and webgui hangs. (see pppoe image) Also when I unplug WAN DHCP interface (em2) and plug it back in I also loose all conectivity and it never comes back online + Webgui hangs. (see dhcp image) In addition, if I change offloading settings in GUI, GUI won
t come back online.I`m using todays snapshot and I also gitsynced and rebooted.
I tested NIC on windows 10 machine, no errors whatsoever.
NICs are:[2.3-BETA][root@]/root: dmesg | grep em2 em2: <intel(r) 1000="" pro="" legacy="" network="" connection="" 1.1.0=""> port 0x1040-0x107f mem 0xd0040000-0xd005ffff,0xd0000000-0xd003ffff irq 20 at device 0.0 on pci3 em2: netmap queues/slots: TX 1/256, RX 1/256 [2.3-BETA][root@]/root: dmesg | grep em3 em3: <intel(r) 1000="" pro="" legacy="" network="" connection="" 1.1.0=""> port 0x1000-0x103f mem 0xd0060000-0xd007ffff irq 21 at device 0.1 on pci3 em3: netmap queues/slots: TX 1/256, RX 1/256</intel(r)></intel(r)>

Has this something to do with FreeBSD BETA1 and Intel NICs?
I also flashed 3 BIOSes for my D2500CCE board and no difference.
Thanks!

One more thing…
After reboot everything is working just fine, and also under heavy load (network traffic) there are no errors. -
Hey,
PC Engines APU2B4 Board
NIC / LAN ports were no longer working after each change via the web interfaceOnly a reboot helps
freebsd Beta1 has not the problem
:-) Connectivity: 3 Gigabit Ethernet channels (Intel i210AT)

Did a quick test with live 2.2.6 interfaces work correctly.
Currently running 2.3 live test… -
And I can confirm it.
With Intel 82546GB Gigabit Ethernet Controller on 2.3 system is useless as it doesn`t response properly to link down / up (hotplug) event.
2.2.6 on the other hand is working like a charm.
Now the real question is, is this pfsense or upstream issue?
And second question, what if I use em driver from 2.2.6?
Thanks!

Yes, pfSense 2.2.6 works.
I think driver trouble -
Hmmmm
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/dev/e1000/e1000_i210.c?revision=295323&view=markup&sortby=date
But my dmesg:
em0: <intel(r) 1000="" pro="" network="" connection="" 7.4.2="">And actual NIC with troubles:
em2: <intel(r) 1000="" pro="" legacy="" network="" connection="" 1.1.0="">We are getting 7.6.1 driver with 2.3?</intel(r)></intel(r)> -
Hmmm found this:
https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src/commit/7adabe51d5b5e2fa6c72a18dbf4bba0c14833901In my case NIC is GIG but it connects to modem with autonegotiated 100Mbit/s.
But still doesn`t explain why it displays watchdog thing ONLY after cable out/in. -
Thanks guys latest snap + gitsync resolved all issues.
But it brought new one, will start new thread.
