Not that it helps much, but I have had severe problems with the fxp driver under BSD/pfsense. I mentioned this a while back and Chris suggested that this was only in a few snapshots. Not being one to argue with a support/developer because I am in awe with this project, but I can replicate traffic flow issues easily on the Pro100's with the fxp driver in any 1.2.x release. I have a
For me the issue was exactly like you are describing. Can connect and everything appears OK, but just zero traffic flow. Nothing useful in logs. Then all of a sudden it would start passing traffic, but then get sketchy and eventually stop again. Something like a simple ping from LAN to WAN would fail 20% of the time,,, but ping of the interfaces was always fine. I moved to the GT giganics and all my pfsense boxen are bullet proof.
