Topic: Version 1.3b4 locks up on reboot when using VLANs (generic PC)  (Read 2663 times)

I had a perfectly working m0n0wall with 4 vlan interfaces only. The parent interface was an Intel fxp. When I wanted to move that NIC to another machine, I saved the config and reinstalled the NIC into the other computer.

I set up a basic config just to get the web gui up, then uploaded the previous config.xml file and connected the interface back to the switch. Upon rebooting, I couldn't ping the LAN interface. I defaulted the config, keeping the interface connected to the switch, and configured the VLAN during the initial config (matching the vlan order of the config.xml). I could ping the LAN interface IP, but as soon as I rebooted the unit, without restoring the config, I could no longer ping the LAN interface.

Just to be sure, I defaulted the m0n0wall, and made a basic config without vlans and successfully rebooted multiple times. I also tried changing interfaces (dc and xl), as well as, moving back to the original PC. Each time producing identical results under each circumstance.

Lastly, using the fxp interface,  I created a basic, non-vlan config then I immediately downgraded the firmware to 1.231. I then restored the original config.xml (4 vlan, ect...) and everything worked as expected...using the new target PC.

Maybe someone else can verify this.

For kicks, I tried to upgrade my same vlan config from version 1.231 to 1.3b5 and the lock-up occured again. I'm posting my relevant interface configs to see if it may yield any sort of help:

            <mediaopt/>
        </lan>
