Hello everyone, registered as I really like opnsense and want to use it.
My internet provider uses pppoe with vlan tag 2.
Everything was smooth before the 22.1 update.
Suddenly it started to cut off my internet. In logs the disconnecion starts from an error: "/usr/local/etc/rc.bootup: The command '/usr/sbin/ngctl msg 're1_vlan2': setautosrc 1' returned exit code '71', the output was 'ngctl: send msg: No such file or directory'"
Does anyone know what can be an issue and how to fix it? I tried the clean install - it works for a few days, but after it randomly starts playing up again. Well I decided to try sophos xg home,and I want to use opnsense,as it's much better. Please help.
Did you forget to install the os-realtek-re plugin to support your card? It's unclear whether it's required or not from your end.
Cheers,

Just checked - Onboard RTL8111DL.
Thanks, for the advise,I will try to install the plugin.
What cards are supported without plugins?
It says
re -- RealTek 8139C+/8169/816xS/811xS/8168/810xE/8111 PCI/PCIe Ethernet adapter driver
The FreeBSD driver has never been particularly good but I think we're looking at some other issue.
I reckon the re1_vlan2 device is up and running according to ifconfig at least?
Are there any other "ifconfig" errors in the log?
Cheers,

No, it didn't have any other errors.
I installed opnsense on the box now. Updated, installed Realtek plugin, it's running for now. But it was running before as well, until didn't start to turn off the internet.
Thanks for the advise.
I think I will see soon if the error would come back.
Another thought. Are you using MAC spoofing?
Please assign the parent "re1" as a separate interface under 22.1. If you used MAC spoofing for the VLAN either enable promiscuous mode for re1 or move the MAC spoofing from re1_vlan2 to re1 (the latter is the saner fix).
Cheers,

No I don't spoof/clone a MAC address, ISP doesn't have such requirements.
Sorry if I could sound silly. About assign the parent re1 as a separate interface.
- Now I made a vlan with tag 2 on interface re1.
- After I made a point to point pppoe where I added this re1_vlan2.
- And in Assignments, I added - pppoe0(re1_vlan2) - myusername@tpg.com.au (this is my ISP) on WAN.
Should I just add a new interface with re1(myboxMAC) in Assignments? Enable it?
> Should I just add a new interface with re1(myboxMAC) in Assignments? Enable it?
Yes. It might fix the issue still with the FreeBSD base driver... maybe it can do more types of hardware checksumming now which is not disabled by default for unassigned interfaces anymore on 22.1.

Thanks,I will try this.
After almost 2 weeks, everything works alright. Thanks.
