Re: [pfSense] pfSense FreeBSD Version

That seems pretty clear to me that the fix to the driver is only in the
HEAD branch, and could theoretically be merged back to 10.x branch by
copying the diffs from commit 261790. So what you need to do is try booting
the bleeding edge HEAD branch of the kernel and if it detects the second
NIC you say so on that bug report, and it will give more incentive for the
devs to merge the patch back to 10.x line.

Thanks for the great response.  I am going to take your advice and I will
update the bug report.

Now, getting that patch applied to pfSense may take some more work. It will
likely involves you setting up the pfSense build environment and
hand-patching the kernel with those driver fixes.

We’ve recently made a -CURRENT, but not -HEAD.   Not all of the patches apply 
cleanly to -CURRENT, though it’s close.

More information about which hardware you’re having trouble with might help, 
too.

Re: [pfSense] pfSense FreeBSD Version

[Walter Parker]

To do this, you will have to grab the sources for pfsense, then grab the
build tools, and then try building a custom version of pfSense using a
snapshot from https://www.freebsd.org/snapshots/ as the base OS rather than
FreeBSD 10.1 as the base OS.

You should also check if the person was suggesting the FreeBSD current HEAD
(FreeBSD 11) or the FreeBSD 10 branch HEAD. Be aware that that there could
be incompatibilities between HEAD and 10.1, so if you find problems, that
might be the cause.

What you're saying you want to try is debugging, not a production solution.
pfSense 2.2 already runs the most recent released freebsd kernel.

pfSense is a unified tool; it is based on FreeBSD; it is not FreeBSD + some
packages.

[pfSense] pfSense FreeBSD Version

[WebDawg]

I have an issue with the version of BSD used in pfSense and my hardware.  I
was given the following advice to fix some hardware I use with pfSense and
I would like to try it:

Please try a snapshot of HEAD.  It should try to allocate a PCI bus number
for
your second device which is currently failing on 10.1.  Note that if a HEAD
snapshot doesn't work out of the box, please try setting
'hw.pci.clear_buses=1'
in the loader before booting a HEAD kernel.

Can I use this version of FreeBSD with pfSense?  Is the next version going
to use it?

Where is this tracked.  I remember I used to be able to install the next
version of pfSense, can I still do this?
