Well, some good news. I have reinstalled this system fresh (after
trying 1.2.3--no NIC driver :( ), and I'm now seeing the expected
LAN>WAN throughput of 900+ mbps sustained. Either something has
changed in the latest snaps, or I had a bad setting. I had done not
much besides tighten up non-LAN firewall rules a bit and turn on
powerd. Now I'm wondering if I had enabled NIC checksumming. I'll play
a bit and find out what difference that makes.

Saw similar behavior when trying to upload a 64bit upgrade file onto a
32bit 1.2.3 install.

Would be nice to get some sort of indication that the upgrade failed.
Noted it left a bunch of 1 MB files in /root/ as well.

[pfSense Support] Upgrade to 2.0 RC1

2011-03-03 Thread Scott Benson
When I take a freshly installed 1.2.3 full, and try and do the update 
methods via the firmware page, it doesn't seem to work.  When I select 
"pfSense 2.0 Beta I386 Snapshot", then go to  "Auto Update Check" it 
starts to download, but stops at 5% and then times out minutes later.  
This happened 5 times, so I decided to download .gz file and do a 
"Manual Update", it looks like it's uploading, then 5 minutes later it 
times out.  Is anyone else having any of these problems
