Hi,
I'm trying to install pfSense (1.0rc2) on a machine, but one of the
boards, despite being identified during installation, does not seem to
work. The leds show no signal of traffic, and a ping to the gateway gets
no answer, neither from other machines on the same network (it's not a
firewall issue, I've checked).
All I know about the board is that it's from a brand named 'Kaiomy', and
pfSense labeled it as fwe0.
Does somebody know if this board can be brought to work?
That's the Firewire network driver. The BUGS section of it's man page
is kind of interesting.
BUGS
This driver emulates Ethernet in a very adhoc way and it does not reserve
a stream channel using an isochronous manager. Note that this driver
uses a protocol which is very different from RFC 2734 (IPv4 over IEEE
1394).
I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if this card doesn't work all
that well. BTW, are you sure that the Kaiomy really is the fwe
interface? :) Seems like it's probably your firewire card (assuming
you have one) not the Kaiomy NIC.
