[pfSense Support] No IP over DHCP

2009-04-24 Thread Michael Schmitt
Hello List,

I try the new 1.2.3-RC1-Embedded release on an ALix board.

WAN --> sis0, dhcp
LAN --> sis1, 10.0.0.1/24
WLAN --> ath0 bridged with LAN (atheros 5212 chipset)

dhcp-server is enabled for LAN.

the first firewallrules on the LAN and WLAN interfaces are
UDP   *   67-68*67/68

The porblem:

After I seted up the system and tried to get an wireless IP over dhcp it
worked fine the first couple of  times, but after a while it stops
working and i can?t get an ip.

Thanks a lot for any ideas.

[pfSense Support] In/Out errors on WLAN interface

2009-03-21 Thread Michael Schmitt
Hello list,

My pfsense box is a ALIX 2d3 Board. version pfsense is 1.2.2

My porblem is, that i have a lot of in/out errors on the Wlan interface.
I tried all combinations of rxantenna, txantenna and diversity.
But it is not getting better.

Another thing is, when i set txantenna=0, rxantenna=1 and make then for
example a refresh of the "status-interface-site", the system changes
rxantenna to 2.

see attached some more information:

hello list,

i have the same problem with pfsense box. Version 1.2.2

WAN: vr2, dhcp
LAN: vr0-- 10.0.0.1
OPT1: ath0 -- no ip, bridged with LAN.

everything is working fine. Just when i want to connect to my wireless
