Run "athstats" at a command prompt or the command page and you may get
some helpful info.

athstats: ath0: Inappropriate ioctl for device

Same problem under 6_2 and 6_3



My trusty old pre-1.0 pfSense AP always shows tens
of thousands of errors on the ath interface but it works fine. It's
one of those things I want to look at closer eventually, but I don't
have any problems with it, so it hasn't been a priority.


Errors on counters do matter less than real connection failures..
I think too, that the errors are not really a problem. I run pfSense a long time and think my out of mbuf-problem came with some 1.2RC-x.

Example:

mbuf is growing and growing during 36h, no special load...

pfsense:~#  netstat -mb
4998/132/5130 mbufs in use (current/cache/total)
2378/80/2458/0 mbuf clusters in use (current/cache/total/max)
2376/56 mbuf+clusters out of packet secondary zone in use (current/cache)
6207K/193K/6400K bytes allocated to network (current/cache/total)
0/3/1456 sfbufs in use (current/peak/max)


Restarting ath0

pfsense:~#  ifconfig ath0 down && ifconfig ath0 up

pfsense:~#   netstat -mb
176/5074/5250 mbufs in use (current/cache/total)
172/2286/2458/0 mbuf clusters in use (current/cache/total/max)
170/2262 mbuf+clusters out of packet secondary zone in use (current/cache)
388K/5840K/6228K bytes allocated to network (current/cache/total)
0/3/1456 sfbufs in use (current/peak/max)


30 minutes later:

pfsense:~#  netstat -mb
304/4946/5250 mbufs in use (current/cache/total)
217/2257/2474/0 mbuf clusters in use (current/cache/total/max)
215/2217 mbuf+clusters out of packet secondary zone in use (current/cache)
514K/5750K/6265K bytes allocated to network (current/cache/total)
0/3/1456 sfbufs in use (current/peak/max)


this must be some leak in the driver.....
under sis1 runs a well loaded DNS, Mail and Webserver and some IPv6 traffic and sis1 has never a problem...

Try to graph this with snmp, if i can find this values.

Beat
