This has nothing to do with pfSense misbehaving I'm sure. However, it makes good reading. And who knows, maybe there is a sympathetic soul out there who has shed sweat over this ahead of me.
A couple of package installs rendered pf 2.0 on an embedded Alix unusable. Removing the packages in guy not work and resorting to the command line and deleting stuff made the situation better. Was able to boot the machine and ping out from the lan and wan interfaces. However, no LAN machine could access the Internet. Checked and rechecked DNS entires and decided to stick a fresh cf card and fresh install. Did a manual configure and wizard configure and came up with the same behavior. Hmmm... Tried restoring an earlier working backup configuration and nothing changes. Cannot call the ISP cuz the Internet works and my LAN machines access the net fine with just a wifi router. Maddeningly, there is nothing in the logs, nothing that pftop or packet capture show which is out of the ordinary. There is traffic on the LAN side and nothing on the wan side. And I swear I can ping yahoo.com from both LAN and wan interfaces. That same ping does not work from a LAN computer. Finally, I notice the pfSense appliance responds very slowly and suspect there may be a hardware issue. I'll check it's dmesg.
