[pfSense Support] SOEKRIS NET5501

2007-10-10 Thread Ryan L. Faircloth
I am new to Freebsd in general and pfSense I am using 1.2RC2 embedded on a 
Soekris Net5501, the unit has 4 nics which default to the vr driver. This is 
reporting as no vlan support an suggestions Soekris indicated these nics should 
support vlans. Can this be worked around at this time or do I need to look into 
Intel Pro+ adapters?

Per 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=vlanapropos=0sektion=0manpath=FreeBSD+6.2-RELEASEformat=html
vr(4) doesn't support oversize frames.  Without this support your
firewall will fragment frames - due to the issues this causes, we do
not support vlan configurations on hardware that isn't listed on the
vlan(4) man page.

You mean FreeBSD 7?  Uh, no.  Not if you want to run pfSense.
