Hi Charles, Padlock does not have an issue that we know of! We have sold hundreds of VIA C7 systems with Padlock running pfSense. If it was a problem, we would have asked Chris B. to fix it.
You can always compile your own kernel without including the Padlock module. Unless you are using Padlock, like running IPSec VPN, I doubt that it would interfere. I still suspect it is a hardware problem. Is it still under warranty? Can you RMA it back? A hardware vendor would be in a better position to monitor and to detect something like this.
