Interface not showing in traffic shaper
0%
Description
Hi,
I recently installed pfSense 2.0 and am using an USB network card for testing purpose. I noticed that the interface is not recognised by the traffic shaper.
Step to reproduce the issue:
- Connect the USB Card
- Assign it as LAN or WAN (Does not matter which interface it is assigned, it will not appear in TS section)
- Go into Traffic Shaper section
- Only the internal nic of the computer will show up, not the USB one.

After doing more research, it seem like not all drivers/network cards are supporting ALTQ, so that must be the issue.
I believe this can be closed.
Thanks

What driver does the network card use? It would be something like aue0, etc. We can double check the driver to see if it does support altq.

It use the "ue", which is not listed in the ALTQ supported driver list.

They all call themselves ue0 now I see. If you look in dmesg there would be a line saying what driver it actually is. If it's aue, that one does support altq, but some others do not. So listing ue on its own could be problematic. But if your specific card does work, you could edit ue into the list.

From the dmesg output I get, the NIC is using the Axe driver. So, no ALTQ support.

Yeah, unfortunately that is the case, axe(4) doesn't support altq. Was worth double checking though.
