19.1 Legacy Series / Re: Impossible to get a working bootable media for installation

« on: March 20, 2019, 12:27:34 am »

Does it support EFI boot?  I was trying to install on an older machine that didn't support EFI.  I had to go find a version of FreeBSD that I could boot into and install.  Then I installed OPNSense on top of that.  I wish I would remember how I resolved it, but I don't remember which FreeBSD version I ended up using.

Also, this is certainly a SW issue (maybe drivers maybe OPN scripts).

There is no issue in Ubuntu 18 or ClearOS.

Did this get resolved, I believe I may be experiencing a similar issue:

19.1 Legacy Series / Re: WAN Link Cycling Up and Down

I noticed that Intel has a new igb driver (2.5.6 -- https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/15815/Intel-Network-Adapter-Driver-for-82575-6-and-82580-based-Gigabit-Network-Connections-under-FreeBSD-?product=64403).

Is it possible to update the IGB driver in opnsense? 


Also, are these issues related:

19.1 Legacy Series / WAN Link Cycling Up and Down

« on: March 02, 2019, 07:42:20 pm »

The problem I have is that my router sees my WAN port come up, gets a WAN IP address, creates a gateway, and then sees the WAN port go down all within 8 seconds or so.

If I put it on a static address, it behaves fine.


OPN Version: OPNsense 19.1.1-amd64
Cable Modem: Netgear CM500
Router: QOTOM-Q190G4-S02
NIC: Intel I211-AT- 10/100/1000 Controller


Franco suggested the following fix:  https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/3197#issuecomment-463988437
But the same problem persists.

Can anyone mentor me through the steps to figure this out?

Here is a sample of my log:

The patch noted above fixed the issue for those that might be interested.

Strike that--- it didn't fix the issue.  Turns out I have to configure the interface using a static IP that copies the IP i know that Comcast handed out.

I will try that.  I'm trying to make sense of it all, but just to add detail -- everything works fine if I put myself on a static IP address using the settings provided by DHCP from Comcast.  Does that make sense given what this patch addresses?

I'm on OPNsense 19.1.r2-amd64.

I didn't install any updates after installing the system.  My new system (that also experiences this problem when on an intel NIC is 18.7).

19.1 Legacy Series / WAN Connection Keeps Cycling (Intel NIC and SB6141)

« on: February 24, 2019, 06:44:47 am »

Hello,

I'm setting up opnsense for the the first time and running across a problem I can't figure out..

I have a computer that has two interfaces (1) Intel NIC and (2) Realtek NIC.  My internet connection is with Comcast and I'm using a Arris Surdboard SB6141. 

If I assign my Realtek NIC (RTL8169) to the WAN device and connect to the SB6141, everything is fine.

If I assign the Intel NIC (NM10/ICH7 Family), then I have a ton of problems.  The device gets the WAN address from the cable modem but quickly (within 30 seconds) resets to being in a down state and seems to reinitialize.  It just keeps looping, WAN address assigned, Gateway opened, WAN connection goes down--rinse and repeat.

I can keep my connection working by using the Realtek connection for my WAN connection, but I'm trying to move to a QOTOM-Q190G4 mini computer.  That computer has 4 Intel NICs and the same problem happens on that setup. 

I have no clue how to troubleshoot this one.... All my searching has been for naught.  Any suggestions?
