Re: [pfSense Support] Problem with WLAN & DHCP since version 73.8?
On a whim, I restored to factory defaults and re-entered my configuration settings. I no longer have the problem waiting 5-10 minutes on "configuring WAN interface..." so something in the config file must be causing this problem. I've carried the config file from version to version for quite a while. Also, when I upgraded to version 0.79 I had a warning on the terminal that the configuration file was created by a *newer* version of pfsense than was currently on the box (I was previously at 0.77). I can send a password-sanitized version of my config file if that would help.

[pfSense Support] Error with squid on .79
I get the following error trying to install squid: Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /etc/inc/pkg-utils.inc(424) : eval()'d code on line 1 Fatal error: Call to undefined function: write_squid_static_config() in /etc/inc/pkg-utils.inc(424) : eval()'d code on line 1 This happens each time I try to install. In previous versions, a first attempt would fail to install correctly, but the second attempt would work. Also, I tried installing squidguard first using it's dependency on squid as a workaround to install both. Installing squidguard gives the following error: XML error: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 60 Jason - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Ran top and showed 0% idle CPU with over 70% interrupt dedicated to interrupts and ~25% system. I knew the RL NICs were poor, just never knew how poor they really were until I started playing around with BSD - I guess my Linux machines have always been powerful enough to overcome the danged things. Funny this - the 93Mb was between a desktop Athlon XP-1800 and a laptop AMD-64 3000+, both with RTL-8139 NICs. I guess I'll stop buying the crappy RTL cards now, eh? Hey, anyone interested in a couple of top-quality NICs? I'll sell 'em to you cheap! RB - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

When you're testing throughput, can you try to run 'top' at the console or a SSH session? I'm curious what your CPU utilization will be. I had a rl NIC in a P3 600 FreeBSD box, and it could only do about 70 Mb to another host on my LAN. Put a Intel fxp in the same box, and it could do 100 Mb at wire speed. With an Intel gig 'em' card, the same box can do 400 Mb though a single NIC. Considering that when you're passing traffic, you can roughly cut that number in half, that P3 600 could have only done probably 35 Mb in a firewalling scenario with rl NIC's. Yes, they really are that bad. :) At 70 Mb with the rl, the P3 600 was pegged at 100% CPU, mostly from interrupts. A P3 600 is easily 2-3 times as fast as a K6 300, so those numbers don't look too out of wack. > rl0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 > media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX ) > looks fine. I bet if you replace the rl NIC's with fxp's, you'll see a huge improvement in performance. -cmb - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You'll never get more than 100 Mb on a 100Mb link or 10 Mb on a 10 Mb link, even if it's full duplex, with a single iperf server and client.
