Can you find anythin in the logs after the reboot?

After having seen the information from Chemlud (which is below) the issue was resolved so I haven't been through the logs. Thank you forgetting back to me on this.

Try a stronger power supply (3A). If you have a power supply with variable output, adjust to 5.3V. There is a limit to max. power consumption for USB-ports, at least in raspbian.

Thank you for this, the power supply I was using was only 750mA, I didn't have a more powerful supply to hand so used a powered USB hub instead and now there are three adapters connected with no issues.

So now I will try to have a proper play with this during the week.

Thanks very much.

Hi Rene,

First off thanks very much for doing this and sharing it with the world. I got the image up and running on my RPi 3 Model B and can see that it is just like the OPNSense instances I have run elsewhere. (I have only recently started labbing with pfSense and OPNSense)

I have connected in a USB to Ethernet device and that was recognise immediately and worked fine (https://plugable.com/products/usb2-e100/ - I got a few of these as they support VLAN tagging with my GNS3 setup)

When I have tried to connect a second one of these it recognises the device but then the system appears to reboot (when watched from the console it just goes blank and then the boot sequence starts). Unfortunately I don't have any other USB NICs to test with. Just thought I would share my experience.

(The reason for having multiple interface was to have a play with the load balancing)

All the best
