[pfSense Support] PFsense wan hangs up after 10min
Hi, ISP bridge pfsense(router) switch.pc.pc.pc.. Nothing extraordinary i guess... After 10min of work i cant ping anything from wan interface. Has anyone had similiar problem? Sincerely, Arvydas

Yes, which version are you running? What is the ISP Bridge exactly?

[pfSense Support] Re: atheros / ath driver
Jup, never said I does not run fine, but still to have errors is never a good thing. Interference is very unlikely, apart from a channel 11 WLAN nothing emits (have not yet used a spectrometer) in my neighborhood. (Am using channel 1). Gonna try and switch to 5GHz just to see if it improves. As for athstats, it's only semi useful as the rx buffer overrun seams to creep up to many of the pfsene/embedded/atheros users. Thanks for the input, it always helps. Regards, Simon Chris Buechler wrote: On Sun, May 18, 2008 at 9:02 AM, Simon Gerber [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have the exact same problem.

My trusty old pre-1.0 pfSense AP always shows tens of thousands of errors on the ath interface but it works fine.

I don't think Traffic Shaper is related to this issue. For example, I've two boxes: both of them have at least one Atheros interface and they have Traffic Shaper disabled. However, I see strange warnings in the System Logs regarding EAPOL-Key 2/2 Group with unexpected replay counter and frequent connections/disconnections. This happened with pfSense based on Freebsd 6.2. Now I'm trying the special build based on FreeBSD 6.3 and things seems to be better. Lots of users complain about IN/OUT errors, but I'd like to ask them if you see strange warnings in your System Logs about wifi. It would be very useful to know. Ermal Bye! __ Sent from Yahoo! Mail.

Static, DHCP, PPPoE? 2) Anything in the system log at time of failure? 3) What does Status - Interfaces show when it fails and is that different from what it shows before it fails? 4) Hardware details (type of NICs primarily of interest) - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
