It's not a hardware problem any more than the countless workarounds already in the Realtek drivers for hardware bugs are hardware problems, it's likely just yet another quirk in a different implementation of the same chipset that isn't worked around in FreeBSD. It's most likely a hardware quirk with a software work around that doesn't exist in FreeBSD (7.2 at least). > Has anyone tested pfsense 2.0 on these fireboxes ? > Since it is based on a newer version of FreeBSD, maybe an updated NIC driver > solves these issues ? > If anyone has any interest in putting in the time to help get it fixed, that's where I would start, and post any problems to the freebsd-net list. 2.0 is based on RELENG_8, what will become 8.1. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
