I didn't see anything on the roadmap.  I'm curious if we'll eventually see UPS support for graceful shutdowns.

Perhaps when plugin support is added we'll see something like this?:

No worries at all, it's been working great with a USB adapter.  I'll probably update the hardware in a few months anyhow. Thanks!

Well, unfortunately, that didn't fix it.

I'm going to run off a USB->Ethernet adapter instead of the built-in NIC for awhile to be sure that the problem is not something about my system (hardware).

If I get that error with the adapter, maybe my older computer I'm using this for is having an issue of some sort.

Thanks! Installed.

I was seeing the error every few hours under load, so I should know quickly if it is better. I'll probably let it go for a couple of days (unless it happens again) before reporting back.

Thank you again.

Hello,

Thank you for the quick reply - just fantastic!

I don't believe that will work for me, but correct me if I'm wrong. The older box is 32-bit only (core2duo that is 64-bit capable, but sadly no 64-bit BIOS support) so i386 is the version of OPNsense I've installed.

Thank you again.

I'm fairly positive this is a FreeBSD bug, but thought I'd post here in case 1) someone has a workaround or 2) it isn't a FreeBSD bug.

I just installed OPNsense on an older PC using the built-in NIC (Marvel Yukon) and a USB adapter. This is really just for my home with a few users and it gets my WiFi router out of NAT/Gateway duty and into infrastructure mode.  So, not a lot of horsepower needed and there is a definite speed improvement and a lot more options!

Everything worked fantastic for about 12 hours, then the console showed:

msk0 watchdog timeout
prefetch unit stuck
initialization failed no memory for Rx buffers

msk0 is my LAN and obviously everything went dead until a reboot.

Again, I'm fairly positive this is a FreeBSD issue based a regression bug here in the 10.x series (there are also 2 other related reports that are in-progress:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=186872

My next step, pending other hints here, is to go with another USB Ethernet dongle to see if the error pops up again with a different interface.  The older PC I'm using is a small form factor with no PCI slots, hence the USB approach.
