That was strictly the upgrade to lighttpd to fix a regression they
introduced in the updated version new in 2.2.5.
http://redmine.lighttpd.net/issues/2670

The fact you're hitting at least one lighttpd crash makes me think
there's some other issue there, though no one else has seen any issues
in 2.2.6, the issue in 2.2.5 wasn't replicable in most cases either.
There's a reason nginx is now the web server in 2.3.

That could be an issue in the Suricata package, given the web server
only crashed once it appears. Since you end up in a situation where
you're stuck until restarting php-fpm, that points to the issue being
in PHP, though an issue in lighttpd could impact PHP.

Not sure offhand whether Suricata is even usable in 2.3, but that
might be worth a shot.

If you want to troubleshoot the sync, maybe the easiest way is to
switch to HTTP temporarily, packet capture the config sync traffic,
follow TCP stream in Wireshark. That's usually telling to at least
narrow it down much more.

[pfSense] Atheros Issues Abundant

2016-01-16 Thread mayak 

Hi All,

I have an several Atheros based wifi mini pcie cards -- I purchased from 
looking at the pfSense wiki. It is installed in a Netgate 3 port APU4C running 
2.2.6

I regularly get:

kernel: ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4)

I have googled this to death -- appears that there is an issue with FreeBSD 10 
driver -- was supposed to be fixed in 2.2.x but still remains.


Is there any workaround available?

Thanks

M
