Re: [pfSense Support] hotplug event on LAN triggers problem on PPTP WAN
Thanks Bill and Espen How can I find out what changes were made to fix this please? (I am interested to know particularly at what level the fault existed, e.g. down in FreeBSD, Code common to monowall and pfSense, or just pfSense.)

As you requested off list I've installed the embedded platform image labelled 1.2-RC3 built on Thu Oct 11 17:09:49 EDT 2007 and created some ethernet hotplug events as a test. Of course I still find them in the logs (check_reload_status: rc.linkup starting, etc.) but mpd doesn't get killed anymore and the PPTP-WAN link remains up. I'm quite happy with this result, and with your fast reaction. thanks a lot, Jan Hoevers - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

For now, I remain with 1.2RC2, leaving all equipment on as a workaround. I may downgrade, but I have a spare soekris and would be pleased to do any testing if you want me to. thanks, Jan Hoevers - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

None of the developers have a PPTP WAN, so we'll need somebody to test the change with that specific setup. Maybe the following additional information is helpful: I've now put an ethernet switch between the LAN interface of the pfSense box and my desktop computer. Power cycling the desktop computer now doesn't trigger the reported problem (as it did when connected directly). Power cycling the switch however does. I believe this confirms the problem comes from the ethernet hotplugging (and not from dhcp or whatever else). Sure does, thanks. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Jan Hoevers wrote: Hello all, I'm running the embedded version of pfSense on a Soekris 4801-60 (256 Mb ram). A Soekris lan1641 PCI card turns the thing into a 7-port router. The WAN interface is in PPTP mode and connects to the internet via a Speedtouch 510, whick is in PPPoA to PPTP tunneling mode. For several months everything was fine using pfSense 1.0.1, but after I upgraded to 1.2-RC2 recently, a problem occurred. I did not touch the Speedtouch configuration, so I believe the problem may originate from 1.2-RC2. Occasionally the PPTP WAN connection is dropped. A new login initiates automatically and the connection is back after a minute or so. It turned out that this happens every time a device on an ethernet port is switched on (most ports have devices connected directly via a crossover cable; no switch or hub in between). When for example switching on my network printer on sis6, I'm seeing this on the system log page: Sep 25 05:04:19 php: : Hotplug event detected for sis6 but ignoring since interface is not set for DHCP Sep 25 05:04:19 php: : Processing start - Sep 25 05:04:19 php: : Hotplug event detected for start but ignoring since interface is not set for DHCP Sep 25 05:04:19 php: : Processing - Sep 25 05:04:19 php: : HOTPLUG: Configuring wan interface Sep 25 05:04:30 kernel: sis6: link state changed to DOWN Sep 25 05:04:32 kernel: sis6: link state changed to UP Sep 25 05:04:35 last message repeated 8 times Sep 25 05:04:36 mpd: mpd: caught fatal signal term Sep 25 05:04:36 mpd: [pptp] IPCP: Down event ...followed by a load of messages describing the new login.
