Snort + Intel NIC not working on 2.1 RC0
0%
Description
I have used Snort + Intel NIC (as WAN interface) successfully on pfSense 2.03 before. I cannot get it to work with 2.1 RC0. What I have found was that once Snort was started, the WAN interface got cut off. This happened whether WAN interface was on DHCP or static. I found that other NIC cards besides Intel one's worked on 2.1 RC0. Here's my finding
pfSense 2.1 RC0 (i386) May 30 Built with Snort 2.9.4.1 v 2.5.8:
Non-working NIC - Intel 729757-005, 721383-007, 721383-008, dual port E139761 using fxp0 driver
Working NIC - Netgear FA311 (NatSemi chip) using sis0, on-board Realtek NIC using re0, SMC 9452TX using sk0
pfsense 2.03 with Snort 2.9.4.1 v 2.5.8:
All NIC works
I have also tried pfsense 2.1 RC0 amd64. Same problem with the Intel NIC cards.
So the problem is the combination of pfSense 2.1 RC0, Snort 2.9.4.1 and the fxp driver

- Description updated (diff)
- Status changed from New to Rejected
probably promiscuous broken in the 8.3 fxp driver. There's another ticket open to back port a newer driver.
