Bug #4028
closed
Wireless Obytes counter always 0
0%
Description
On an Alix 2D13 with WiFi card in it.
2.2-BETA (i386)
built on Sun Nov 16 14:10:12 CST 2014
FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE
Traffic Graph (from Status menu or the widget) always shows 0 traffic out on the WiFi interface to clients. Traffic in from clients shows correctly.
Root cause seems to be:
$ifinfo = pfSense_get_interface_stats('ath0_wlan0');
var_dump($ifinfo);
array(11) {
["inpkts"]=>
int(926911)
["inbytes"]=>
int(80903838)
["outpkts"]=>
int(1464350)
["outbytes"]=>
int(0)
["inerrs"]=>
int(16)
["outerrs"]=>
int(412)
["collisions"]=>
int(0)
["inmcasts"]=>
int(9751)
["outmcasts"]=>
int(0)
["unsuppproto"]=>
int(0)
["mtu"]=>
int(1500)
}
outbytes is zero.
And outbytes is not appearing in 'ath0' either (just checked that in case it ended up in the wrong place):
$ifinfo = pfSense_get_interface_stats('ath0');
var_dump($ifinfo);
array(11) {
["inpkts"]=>
int(982945)
["inbytes"]=>
int(0)
["outpkts"]=>
int(1127117)
["outbytes"]=>
int(0)
["inerrs"]=>
int(22129)
["outerrs"]=>
int(0)
["collisions"]=>
int(0)
["inmcasts"]=>
int(0)
["outmcasts"]=>
int(0)
["unsuppproto"]=>
int(0)
["mtu"]=>
int(2290)
}
Ordinary interfaces are working fine, e.g vr0,vr1,vr2 and also VLAN devices like vr0_vlan50.

It is not a super-important thing, but there might be other device name combinations that have this issue also, or other interesting or more important cases where pfSense_get_interface_stats() or something underneath that is not quite right.

confirmed. The root of the issue is the Obytes counter on ath0 and ath0_wlanX is always 0. For instance:
# netstat -i -b -n -I ath0 Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Idrop Ibytes Opkts Oerrs Obytes Coll ath0 2290 <Link#4> 00:02:6f:21:ed:b6 828938 298892 0 0 64579 0 0 0
on the wlanX interfaces, the Link line shows 0 as well.
netstat -i -b -n -I ath0_wlan1 Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Idrop Ibytes Opkts Oerrs Obytes Coll ath0_wlan1 1500 <Link#9> 00:02:6f:21:ed:b6 45549 1 0 3245603 62485 1 0 0 ath0_wlan1 - fe80::202:6ff fe80::202:6fff:fe 0 - - 0 4 - 344 - ath0_wlan1 - 10.68.1.0/24 10.68.1.1 622 - - 39545 105 - 20794 -
So that looks to be an ath driver issue of some sort.

- Subject changed from ath Obytes counter always 0 to Wireless Obytes counter always 0
this actually applies to all wifi judging by the FreeBSD PR on the issue.

Merged stack from HEAD with the fix on 2.3

I am not clear - is the fix coming just in 2.3, or also in he 2.2.3 builds?

Phil,
We need to sync the patch to the RELENG_2_2 branch. (This work is in progress, but not done.)

Fixed for me on Alix with WiFi card with pfSense-2.2.3-DEVELOPMENT-2g-i386-nanobsd-upgrade-20150610-1048.img.gz
Now the traffic graph shows believable out traffic from the WiFi interface when doing stuff from a WiFi client.
