Hi,
I had a strange problem with pfsense 2.0 RC3 build 04.07.2011.
After a reboot pfsense told me that there is a mismatch with the
interfaces and I should choose a new VLAN / WAN configuration.
All 20 old interfaces with LAGs, WLANs, VLANs, Telekom
Entertain settings were overwritten and deleted. :-(
I tried many things to rescue my configuration but even the
backup config.xml files failed.
The end of the story is: A WLAN adapter was not loaded before
the check of the interfaces. The missing run0 interface was the
reason for the question for a new WAN interface. A simple
plugout / plugin of the USB-WLAN-Stick after every reboot
solves the problem. The stick is a DLINK DWL-G122 Ver E1.
Hello Olaf,
I have the same problem on one of my pfSense installations, with a
Realtek 8112 chipset (onboard NIC). The card refuses to come up on
every even numbered boot (which occurs quite often, seeing as it's
being run with 2.0RCx). The only workaround I've found, is to reboot
the machine and it comes back up again. Really annoying, and I've
tried to search for a solution both on the forums and on Google, but
found nothing.
You can try the same yourself and see if that helps. Though I have to
admit that I've personally have had very mixed experiences with USB
based NIC's.
Btw, this is not meant to hijack this thread, but if someone has some
suggestions as to my Realtek problem, feel free to come forth. Here is
the output from pciconf:
re0@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x83851043 chip=0x816810ec rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
class = network
subclass = ethernet
And yes, good luck!
Hi Jostein,
Thank you for your answer. My pfsense is not working every second time.
I have to wait for the question for the VLAN-configuration, then I press
Ctrl-C
and Enter for the /bin/sh shell. Then I unplug the WLAN-stick and
reconnect it.
Then a simple Ctrl-D quits the shell and the init process is repeated.
Now a run0 device is found and everybody is happy. :-)
I bought a new WLAN card and will do some tests with that.
cheers
Olaf
