Most of the time. I had issues with one box running 1.2.3 on an Intel P3 board with fxp0 on-board and a 4 port soekris vr based PCI card. With pfSense 2.x FreeBSD kept having to reset the vr interfaces because of timeouts and it never actually worked after an hour of trying. I finally reinstalled pfSense 1.2.3 and still had vr timeouts. A power cycle seems to have cleared up whatever FreeBSD did differently with the 4 port card vs the version of FreeBSD in pfSense 1.2.3. A hard power cycle might have lined things out with pfSense 2 installed, but I didn't think of doing that until it wouldn't run right after re-installing 1.2.3. I'm going to replace the hardware before I mess with it again. All of that just to remind you that Murphy makes the rules... In the future, especially on older hardware, I think I will boot from the live CD and import the config to that to do some testing before I upgrade the installed version. -- Scott Lambert KC5MLE Unix SysAdmin [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
