Wally.

Try using 7Zip to extract the file. I'm pretty sure your issue is with "Winzip" and not the files.

I am trying to download the full and embedded RC1 from the mirrors. Each time the file is downloaded and then I use Winzip to open it, I get crc errors, file is corrupt. I have tried different download sites and still have the same problem. But, if I download the RC1 LIVECD iso, I do not have that problem.

Something apparently new I found that could also do the bandwidth control: the “penalty” section… It wasn’t included in v.1.0.1, was it?
My problem solved! Excellent work, guys! Make me wish I could learn all the programming needed to help you!

For bandwidth accounting on a per-user basis, pfflowd has been available in packages for ages now. It exports NetFlow, and there are many packages available to collect and report on NetFlow data (it’s what Cisco routers use).

I found pfSense when looking for a gateway solution for our community wireless network (serving as the main gateway on an outdated pc).
The mix of MAC/IP address “pass-through”, or even Radius/802.1x for local “subscribers” – enabling VoIP solutions – and captive portal for “guest” users is an excellent combination.
I thought this release would our remaining problem: attributing per user bandwidth… I was hoping the BandwidthD package would solve this issue (I didn-t know it before), but well… maybe next release…

Thanks to all you dev’s and all additional cooperators!

No news on wireless.

If you can reliably replicate wireless problems with 1.2x releases, please drop me an email (cbuechler@gmail.com).

No clue on release date yet.

my first observation is that it fixes a problem I was having with USB keyboards – previously a USB keyboard would not be detected when the machiune booted, and I’d have to re-plug the keyboard and even then it might not work.
