What SSH client are you using?  Is it configured for 'keyboard-interactive' ?

(with one connection, run a server and a client on each side and you
can test full duplex).  You'll never get more than 100 Mb on a 100Mb
link or 10 Mb on a 10 Mb link, even if it's full duplex, with a single
iperf server and client.

The specific command I ran was "iperf -i 1 -N -d -P3 -c 192.168.0.1" - 
from the options on my Gentoo box, -d says it does a bidirectional test 
simultaneously, testing (I presumed) duplex.



rl's are known for poor performance, but should be better than that
unless you're only running a 100-200 MHz machine or so.


I just barely miss that category... ;-)

You should be seeing:
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX ) 
in your ifconfig output.  Exactly what are you seeing on that line?

ah yeah, it is full duplex with that option.  I assumed you were doing
nothing but a -c and -s.

hah  Well...that's probably the best you can get on that.  :)  With rl
NIC's at least, since they're interrupt happy.  When you're testing
throughput, can you try to run 'top' at the console or a SSH session? 
I'm curious what your CPU utilization will be.

I had a rl NIC in a P3 600 FreeBSD box, and it could only do about 70
Mb to another host on my LAN.  Put a Intel fxp in the same box, and it
could do 100 Mb at wire speed.  With an Intel gig 'em' card, the same
box can do 400 Mb though a single NIC.  Considering that when you're
passing traffic, you can roughly cut that number in half, that P3 600
could have only done probably 35 Mb in a firewalling scenario with rl
NIC's.  Yes, they really are that bad.  :)  At 70 Mb with the rl, the
P3 600 was pegged at 100% CPU, mostly from interrupts.

A P3 600 is easily 2-3 times as fast as a K6 300, so those numbers
don't look too out of wack.

looks fine.  I bet if you replace the rl NIC's with fxp's, you'll see
a huge improvement in performance.

Wow.  That was certainly it.  Ran top and showed 0% idle CPU with over 
70% interrupt dedicated to interrupts and ~25% system.  I knew the RL 
NICs were poor, just never knew how poor they really were until I 
started playing around with BSD - I guess my Linux machines have always 
been powerful enough to overcome the danged things.  Funny this - the 
93Mb was between a desktop Athlon XP-1800 and a laptop AMD-64 3000+, 
both with RTL-8139 NICs.


I guess I'll stop buying the crappy RTL cards now, eh?

Hey, anyone interested in a couple of top-quality NICs?  I'll sell 'em 
to you cheap!

[pfSense Support] Error with squid on .79

2005-08-20 Thread Jason Landry
I get the following error trying to install squid:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in
/etc/inc/pkg-utils.inc(424) : eval()'d code on line 1 Fatal error:
Call to undefined function: write_squid_static_config() in
/etc/inc/pkg-utils.inc(424) : eval()'d code on line 1

This happens each time I try to install.  In previous versions, a
first attempt would fail to install correctly, but the second attempt
would work.

Also, I tried installing squidguard first using it's dependency on
squid as a workaround to install both.  Installing squidguard gives
the following error:

XML error: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 60

Re: [pfSense Support] Problem with WLAN & DHCP since version 73.8?

2005-08-20 Thread Jason Landry
On a whim, I restored to factory defaults and re-entered my
configuration settings.  I no longer have the problem waiting 5-10
minutes on "configuring WAN interface..." so something in the config
file must be causing this problem.  I've carried the config file from
version to version for quite a while.

Also, when I upgraded to version 0.79 I had a warning on the terminal
that the configuration file was created by a *newer* version of
pfsense than was currently on the box (I was previously at 0.77).

I can send a password-sanitized version of my config file if that would help.
