Hi,

Thanks for your answer.

I've identified the motherboard which is : G31 1264 6L from BKHD, chipset ref : BKHD-1264NP-12-6L.
It is not really same as the one you pointed.It seems risky to update bios with an incorrect one, and risk to brick the mini-pc.

I tried to contact them through whatsapp, no answer.

I hope N100 upgrade to 25.7 could fix the issue of upgrading on old bios released mini-pc in the meantime.

Hi,
Anyone got the firmware upgrade for the BKIPC/CWWK N100 6x port version.
My actual bios is :

American Megatrends International, LLC.
Version: GF1264NP126LV11R003A
Date: 16/11/2023

Thanks.
Franck

Exactly the same problem !!!!!!
I have the same problem cant update past 25.7. Disaster. I have a CWWK N100, AliExpress  box. Trier a fresh install, bare no plug ins and update to 25.7.1 crashs every thing. back to 25.7 works great up till then. Something in software not compatible. so I will stay at 25.7 and not update until there is a solution or have to go back to pfsense, not sure its better as i have not tested it. For me it seems to be a hardware software issue.  playing with this for 2 days, driving me nuts. I have not seen many posts with this problem or any solution.

Hello, i got the exact same problem on my N100 platform.
Reproduced twice on 2 separate HW. So definitely not related to some hardware failure.

I have broken my backup HA on 2 separate instances (hopefully primary instance is running well).

Btw, the fsck did't fix anything.

Now, I just have to reinstall them as it simply crashed at 25.7.1_1 upgrade. Once they were rebooted filesystem was corrupted (lost some part /usr/local/etc/inc/interfaces.inc). So system isn't booting anymore.
Will restore to latest stable for me : 25.1.6. And the bad part is that they are at 300km from home. Will try to setup a net install serving ISO  (proxmox VM with iPXE), if this is possible.

Has anyone some ideas what the issue is with those N100 HW ? Did someone succeed installing 25.7.1 on those boxes ?

It seems to work well on 25.7 and failed when upgrading from 25.7 to 25.7.1. But not sure.

Hi,
Great. It seems to be functional.

In the dashboard, I got now the boths virtual IP associated with the outside address and its MASTER/BACKUP status.

Thanks.

Hi,
I want to setup HA on my existing FW01 using OPNSENSE 24.7, using a second FW02.

I have setup CARP for the OUTSIDE interface and reassign IP of FW01 and FW02. But on this OUTSIDE interface, I also have an IP Alias configured.

I have a /29 network and configured it as :
.1 and .2 IP Alias to redirect to specific servers with one-to-one NAT or Port forwarding NAT
.3 FW01
.4 FW02
.5 CARP IP
.6 my provider GW

In normal operation (when both FW are active) what will happen to my IP aliases (.1 and .2) operation ? Which FW will do the gratuitous ARP of those IP, and which one will serve the outside requests from Internet.

Same question when FW01 or FW02 will go down ?

Thanks for help in understanding how it works.
Franck
