pfSense

Hi. I am not sure if I am supposed to create a new issue or update this one...

I am experiencing the exact same behavior with a chipset of the same family, as explained here
Both chipsets are supported in freebsd 10.1-RELEASE by the run driver
I verified the driver loads successfully in stock freebsd 10.1-RELEASE, however pfsense goes into kernel panic as soon as the driver is loaded, no matter the interface. I have tried this with 2 different PCs.

there has to be something different, as the run driver we ship is 100% identical to FreeBSD 10.1's. If someone wants to ship me an affected card I'll take a look. Email me (cmb at pfsense dot org) if that might be of interest.

Got the same issue today while upgrading to 2.2 on fit-pc2i. It got RT2870 card and the same double fault while loading:

run0: firmware RT2870 ver. 0.33 loaded

Fatal double fault:
eip = 0xc0d11588
esp = 0xecf77fb8
ebp = 0xecf78018

KDB: enter: panic

I have textdump.tar.0 if anyone interested. I did not have time to try and reproduce on stock FreeBSD 10.1.
Workaround was to physically remove card from the machine.

Hello,

I also ran into that error.
The version 2.2.4 seems to be broken with RT3070 devices.

I tried with pfsense 2.1.2 where the driver loads, the device is configurable (as wireless in AP mode). I did not yet verify if the device is able to connect clients.

The device in 2.1.2 is RT3070 utilizing firmware RT2870. I bought a LogiLink WL0054 (around 15 Euro market price now).

The ticket #4722 might be linked with this issue.

Could somebody help?

Best regards,
Ingo

Update: the device is configureable in pfsense 2.2.4 as well but crashed at loading the firmware (0.33).
If you need a crash report do not hesitate to ask for.

This needs to be reproduced on FreeBSD and/or someone needs to ship us an affected card, but we can't guarantee anything as it's not hardware we sell or endorse. As it stands this bug is still in a Rejected state.

In #4722 it seems to be a combination of hardware that leads to the crash, so it's not so simple.

You'd be better served by returning the non-working device and obtaining one that is known to function properly.
