Description

Hardware: Alix 2D3, latest BIOS. I attach the output of dmesg.

pfSense: v2.0.2 (also fails with 2.0.1 and some 2.1 snapshots as per the forum posts)
This is the output of rc.banner:

*** Welcome to pfSense 2.0.2-RELEASE-nanobsd (i386) on pfsenseurq ***

  WAN (wan)                 -> vr0        -> XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
  LAN (lan)                 -> vr1        -> 172.21.2.254
  LINK (opt1)               -> vr2        -> 10.255.255.2
  WLAN (opt2)               -> ath0_wlan0 -> 172.21.202.254

Config: Mobile IPsec VPN, xauth + PSK configured as in the wiki, with iPhone client (iOS v5.1.1). Set both Phase1 and Phase2 to AES-128

Issue: The VPN works fine as long as glxsb is disabled. If glxsb is enabled, the tunnel comes up but no traffic passes. This shows on the log:

Nov 29 11:49:00     racoon: ERROR: pfkey UPDATE failed: Invalid argument
Nov 29 11:49:00     racoon: ERROR: pfkey ADD failed: Invalid argument

I found several related posts on the forum like this one, I even created this post , no apparent solution, other people also experiencing the issue.

I have also created a RSA + auth IPsec VPN with the iPhone (configured as a forum post), and it works fine, under the same conditions (enabling glxsb breaks it)

Some additional info: the problem seems to be on Phase2. If I set the Phase1 to AES-128 and Phase2 to 3DES, I receive a warning on the log, but the VPN passes data without issues. The problem shows up when Phase2 is set to AES128.

I really don't know if the problem comes from pfSense, the FreeBSD kernel, racoon or the glxsb driver itself.

I attach the full racoon debugging log when the problem shows up. This was a test VPN created for this sole purpose, so I don't care about how "verbose" the log is in regards to the keys and so on.

Thanks in advance!
