pfSense

I set up the traffic shaper using the wizard, it worked fine for a few hours (4) then at some point started throwing:

php: : New alert found: There were error(s) loading the rules: pfctl: DIOCGIFSPEED: Invalid argument - The line in question reads [0]:

to the message box. Turning off/deleting the shaper rules restored network connectivity and stopped the errors.

The errors just before and after then are a bit cryptic to me.

I've attached the traffic shaper config section.
