Okay, I have enabled logging and added more address to the DHCP pool/range. I think the problem is more basic, however, since I am having no problem whatsoever associating with the Soekris. My test with a static assignment on the FreeBSD wireless client (T42/ath0) failed since the problem is not wireless associativity, but it is a more basic networking issue - see below. On the Soekris/4801/pfSense using either the GUI (HTTP) or the command shell (ssh(1)) I am unable to ping(8) my m0n0wall gateway (10.0.0.1) see below: =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*= soekris:~# netstat -nr Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 10.0.0.1 UGS 0 689 sis0 10.0.0.0/24 link#1 UC 0 0 sis0 10.0.0.1 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx UHLW 2 9 sis0 222 10.0.0.yy 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx UHLW 1 459 sis0 555 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 1 lo0 soekris:~# ping 10.0.0.1 PING 10.0.0.1 (10.0.0.1): 56 data bytes ^C --- 10.0.0.1 ping statistics --- 9 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*= GUI: PING 10.0.0.1 (10.0.0.1) from 10.0.0.33: 56 data bytes --- 10.0.0.1 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*= Recall I have the OPT2 interface bridged to the LAN interface. And I have these (and only these) firewall rules on those two interfaces: OPT2: * * * * * * LAN: * LAN net * * * * The WAN interface is unconfigured/unused/disabled (nothing connected to sis1 or sis2 since sis0 is the only ethernet link to my local LAN). Could it be that I am lacking some important firewall rule on either of the OPT2 or LAN interfaces? Or perhaps some other (default?) setting is preventing any ICMP packets from getting out to the LAN? Using the command shell, I added a default route: soekris:~# route add default 10.0.0.1 before running any of the above ping(8) tests. I also noticed in the netstat(1) output that IPv6 is enabled by default in pfSense. Is there any way (short of rebuilding FreeBSD underneath pfSense) to disable IPv6 routes? When I try to "route delete" some, this is what happens: sorkeis:~# route delete 'ff02::%sis1/32' route: bad address: ff02::%sis1/32 sorkeis:~# route delete 'fe80::%sis1/64' route: bad address: fe80::%sis1/64 Also, "route -n flush -inet6" had no effect. Help! :-) One other thing. In the tutorials and howto guides on the pfSense wiki, any useful examples are collected in some form of Macromedia flash external WWW site. When I tried to view these on FreeBSD with mplayer, or vlc, the flash video flashes by in seconds which gives me no change to see what is being displayed on any one given screen shot. It seems like this most basic information should be presented in two or more formats to give newbies like yours truly a choice should one format not match that newbie's toolset. For this reason, I am eagerly looking forward to the new pfSense book!
