[pfSense] Memstick install woes on APU1

2014-10-28 Thread Ryan Coleman
I have had a devil of a time getting the 2.1.5 memstick (only one I've 
tried) to install on my new APU1D4.


I have all the bits and pieces needed to get it going but I'm trying to 
install with both a 128GB SSD (which the BIOS is recognizing) and a 64GB 
Class 4 SDXC (also recognized)...


I made the bootable USB on my Mac via the commands here: 
https://cunninghamshane.com/make-a-bootable-usb-drive-from-img-in-mac-os-x/ 
but I had to make a few changes (note for those looking to do this... 
I've never seen a Mac whose drives are /dev/r-anything...)


But I seem to get nowhere... it starts to boot, sometimes I can get it 
to go into the BSD loader if I tell it to do PXE boot but then it hangs. 
I thought it might be a console redirection issue so I disconnected and 
reconnected at 9600bps and I get gibberish.


The SSD came out of a functioning Windows machine well over a year ago, 
I suspect that might be the issue but I would love confirmation first. 
Also if someone has a lead on a memory stick Linux I can run as a 
console redirect so I can destroy that partition that would be helpful, too.


Thanks,
Ryan

Well, strike that I guess... First try at the office (granted with a new 
copy/image to USB) it seems to be working...

Hi Ryan,

Yea -- just installed one of these the other day and had the same issues -- the 
baud rates can make it difficult . My notes from that install:

- download a serial memstick version: 
http://pfsense.mirrors.ovh.net/pfsense.org/downloads/pfSense-memstick-serial-2.1.5-RELEASE-amd64.img.gz
- burn to usbstick
- boot apu with minicom 115200,8,n,1 [apu uses 115200 baud]
- F12 to select correct boot device -- boot from the device
- immediately switch back to 9600 on minicom -- pfsense uses 9600,8,n,1
- select custom install
- select mSATA as target
- format the disk
- partition the disk -- accept and create
- accept and install boot blocks
- install onto new partition
- accept defaults -- keep going
- select `embedded no vga kernel` at the end of process -- all good :-)

Hope this helps :-)

Well, I have it installed now but it is not going into the final boot... 
I suspect I bombed the installation (there was an option at the end to 
either have multi-threading OR have console... I chose multi-threading

it)

yea -- if you do that, then you wont see anything on the console and you get 
through the setup. you could always use the embedded kernel, go thru initial 
console setup, then change kernels ...

https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Switching_Kernels

which begs the question `is there a difference in threading capabilities 
between the embedded and regular smp kernel`?

i used the embedded and it does show multiple cores ...

[pfSense] Disabling auto tone on APU1

This should be its own thread...

How do I disable the startup/shutdown tones on the board? It seems to be 
something initiated from the OS and not a board function.


Later I might have a use for it but not now - it's annoying and loud in 
my office. Boo.

[pfSense] Revisiting PCIe LTE/4G modems

2014-10-28 Thread Ryan Coleman
So this project at my place of employment... the firewall selected 
(Sierra Wireless GX440) doesn't seem to be passing UDP traffic over the 
link despite having the device listed as the DMZ...


So I'm hoping to get a possible alternative solution made that would 
employ APU1 boards and adding a wifi and an LTE/4G device (I see from my 
board here in front of me there's a SIM slot below the SDXC slot)...


What success have the users here had with PCIe LTE/4G radios in their 
devices? I'm looking, preferably, for something that is Verizon 
compatible as that is our carrier here.


Many thanks in advance for your feedback!

see no reason why that shouldn’t work with the APU as well. Though I agree an

I don’t know of any “PCIe” LTE/4G radios.   I know of a dozen solutions for 
miniPCIe.   Since the APU doesn’t have a PCIe slot, perhaps you meant miniPCIe.

In any case, you might want to look at these, too: 
http://store.netgate.com/ADI/RCC-DFF-2220.aspx.

You are correct, mini-PCIe.

I have one on my wall that is EU ready... Huawei ME909u-521 but I do not 
know if that will meet your needs.

http://www.amazon.com/Huawei-ME909u-521-Mini-PCIe-Express-Router/dp/B00NPX09QY%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q%26tag%3Dduckduckgo-d-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB00NPX09QY

The PDF I printed and have posted to the cube wall says for the European 
market - so take that with a grain of salt as I am not there :)

Re: [pfSense] Revisiting PCIe LTE/4G modems

2014-10-28 Thread Ryan Coleman

And now I see you had one in there... shame on me for mad-responding. :)

I'm going to go into a technology hole now for sending 4 emails in a 
row... oops.

Or any variation of the above.

Think outside of the box peeps.

 So I'm hoping to get a possible alternative solution made that
would employ APU1 boards and adding a wifi and an LTE/4G device (I
see from my board here in front of me there's a SIM slot below the
SDXC slot)...
 What success have the users here had with PCIe LTE/4G radios in their 
devices? I'm looking,
preferably, for something that is Verizon compatible as that is
our carrier here.

Would also be interested if anyone has any thoughts/suggestions on
this (though I'd be looking for something UK-network-compatible :-) )

Ryan, if it's any help, I've used Huawei USB modem dongles in the
USB ports in the ALIX boards connected to an external antenna in
the past without issue - I see no reason why that shouldn't work
with the APU as well. Though I agree an internal solution would be
considerably more elegant.

Kind regards,

Chris

Re: [pfSense] OpenVPN service does not want to run

Looks like you switched from tun to tap or vice-versa maybe?

[pfSense] Making an install CD

2014-10-28 Thread Mark Hisel
I can't seem to make an install CD.  I downloaded the ISO, unzipped it from the 
gz file using 7-ZIP, and burnt the disk image using win7.  The CD has a bunch 
of directories but only one file; the copyright.  What did I do wrong? I'm 
trying to install onto an HP DL380 but the CD is a non-system disk.

Does windows 7 actually burn disc images? Have you tried active ISO instead to 
burn the image? I believe it's free.
