>Description:
Enabling the glxsb driver on an Alix board (Netgate m1n1wall 2D13) running pfSense 2.0.1 (FreeBSD 8.1) prevents AES256 IPSec Phase2 connections from establishing:

Mar 27 16:31:44 racoon: ERROR: pfkey ADD failed: Invalid argument
Mar 27 16:31:44 racoon: ERROR: pfkey UPDATE failed: Invalid argument
Mar 27 16:31:44 racoon: WARNING: attribute has been modified.
Mar 27 16:31:44 racoon: [Name of Tunnel]: INFO: initiate new phase 2 negotiation: my.ip.add.ress500<=>rem.ote.ip.adr500

AES128 IPSec connections still work OK.

I believe the remote side is Cisco IOS or ASA.   I am running 2.0.1-RELEASE (i386).  Other users have reported similar behavior:

Per pfSense dev team, the problem is upstream in the FreeBSD kernel:

>How-To-Repeat:
Load glxsb driver, then try to establish an AES256 IPSec tunnel.
