If you are running an embedded image, keyboard/monitor will be disabled and you will need a null modem serial cable to configure this part. > Or, since you're already running monowall, check it to see which it > thinks is which - how did you figure that one out? That is sound advice. You could edit your pfSense configuration to include these device names before booting the embedded image, otherwise you'd need to use the serial console to reassign them. If you want to edit the config directly on the CF, see here: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Modifying_Embedded The reason it works out of the box on ALIX/Soekris is because the default network adapter names for those are vr0/vr1 on both platforms so those are in the default configuration.
