Hi,
To give an update on this.
I've successfully installed pfsense 1.2b1 with CARP on Dell PE860's. The
trick was to setup the machines from scratch and not use an older config.
These machines have been running wonderfully for the last few months now.
Hope this helps someone, especially that
I'll second this. I tested last week on an 860 just prior to ordering
two more. Everything came up nice and clean. While I can't speak to what
it will do under load, it does at least install and not fall over on
minimal traffic.

I have a pfsense box running 1-2-BETA-1 (built 5/26/2007 @ 16:27:46
EDT) with the following CPU/Memory combination (from dmesg):

Thanks for the reply, Scott. I'd love to go with Intel, but their
prices for dual-port cards (around 150 USD) are a little too high for
the moment. I was more wondering if CARP even does anything that a NIC
might not support; I doubt it, but I don't know enough about it to say
definitively. We'l
Your throughput is very low.
It seems the switch is the problem? Can you detail its brand.

If you think you will ever need failover using CARP, 1:1 NAT with
virtual IPs is the way to go. A filtering bridge is nice, and yes, a
bit easier, but you can't implement failover with it under pfSense.
Either way you go, it's essentially the same procedure with regard to
maintaining firewall rul
It should also be noted that CARP doesn't work with bridged interfaces,
so if you want CARP (which for a data center environment, you probably
do) you'll want to use the setup that Chris suggested.

The switch is a Linksys SFE2000. The before speeds are from this
switch I have checked the interface statistics on both the firewall
and the switch ports and they are showing no errors or collisions.

It sounds like you had a problem to begin with and just made it worse by
adding latency (though very minimal).

multicast - I've seen bad drivers out there in the past (usually it's
a few lines of code missing somewhere in the driver). Honestly, you'd
be more likely to have issues with ALTQ than with CARP, but it's
certainly possible. Good luck.

I do remember seeing something in FreeBSD release notes about ALTQ
support being added to sf. Thanks, Bill and Scott. I'm confident it
will turn out fine.

ATM it's not supported by the wlan daemon in conjunction with specific drivers
such as thiis ones used for your card...
I'm usind the same and tried to write some patch but it's out of function :-(
So use the captiveportal function to get nearly the same functionality...

Thanks I just found the forum thread on this ...
this works for all intents and purposes the same

I've got an issue where I need to recompile the pfSense FreeBSD kernel
to enable a piece of hardware I have. I'm trying to enable the wanpipe

a patch to enable their devices. I did this in a Developer vmware image
