        What hardware are you trying to use it with?

            94c0 is not a listed device ID in the driver:
            https://github.com/Aquantia/aqtion-freebsd/blob/master/aq_main.c#L92

            Not supported yet by the looks of it.

              pfSense version 2.6.0

              I have a Aquantia (AOM-AQS-107-B0C2-CX) Installed the drivers provided here
              Everything seem to be working fine can get ip and connect, the only issue I am having
              is that 5GBASE-T, 2.5GBASE-T aren't listed under the interface speed and duplex
              and on the dashboard its listed as unknown full duplex

              kldstat 19e28 if_atlantic.ko

              ifconfig for the interface shows
              media: Ethernet auto select (unknown <full-duplex)

              tested under windows and 5GBASE-T, 2.5GBASE-T are listed

              pciconf -i and shows the error listed below
              link x1(x1) speed 2.5(2.5) ASPM disabled(L0s/L1)

                That pciconf error is probably unrelated.

                Does it actually link at 2.5G? The other end reports that?

                    Then it's probably just a driver quirk and it will catch up in newer versions.

                      There was an issue with intel drivers for FreeBSD
                      ixl driver shows "unknown" for link rate when using 2.5/5Gbps modes
                      that was fix in the driver 1.12.24 link below
                      can i install these drivers and how would i install them thanks.

                        Not easily. The available kmod package looks to be at 1.12.2 still.

                            I'm a newbie to pfSense & FreeBSD.

                            I realize this is an old topic, but I am having a hell of a time trying to use my two AQN-107 NICs with pfSense 2.6 .
                            I downloaded the driver from https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/latest/All/aquantia-atlantic-kmod-0.0.5_1.pkg .
                            I installed it with pkg install -f -y .
                            I loaded it manually with kldload .
                            I have 2 major problems :

                            1. the module doesn't automatically reload upon reboot. How can I force it to do so ?
                            2. my clients (off the LAN side, using the pfSense DHCP server) don't have DNS when I use the Aquantia NIC.
                              If I use other NICs (Realtek 1 Gbps USB, Intel I211 PCIe on the motherboard), I don't have any DNS problem.
                              This is a really strange one. I have not done any manual configuration for DNS and certainly am not doing anything different when I switch NIC (same IP address for LAN side, same subnet, etc).
                              Any idea about this one ?
                            3. I'd like to make sure I'm using the best possible driver. Is there another build I should be using ? I'm on x64 (AMD Ryzen 2700).

                              Can answer one : as it has been answered already above :

                              @rico said in Can't assign NIC [Aquantia Corp. AQC107]:

                              How the Installation should work (dry run / not tested, I don't own this NIC):
                              Unzip the file and place if_atlantic.ko into the /boot/kernel/ folder.
                              Change permissions via console or SSH: chmod 555 /boot/kernel/if_atlantic.ko
                              Edit /boot/loader.conf.local and add to the end of the file: if_atlantic_load="YES"
                              Reboot pfSense and see what happens. ;-)

                              No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                              Edit : and where are the logs ??

                                @gertjan Thank you ! The file to edit was actually /boot/loader.conf . Not /boot/loader.conf.local .
                                I copied the driver to /boot/kernel, but not sure if it's really required - it was already copied in /boot/modules , with the correct permission, from the package installer .

                                In any case, I was able to persist the changes for the WAN & LAN interfaces, and now the second problem (DNS issue) is gone after rebooting.

                                  The file /boot/loader.conf can be rewritten 'at any moment' by pfSense itself, discarding your edits.
                                  Your own additions should be placed in /boot/loader.conf.local, which will not be touched.
                                  If needed, you have to create this file.
                                  This file will also get parsed at kernel boot time.

                                    Not sure why you wouldn't see DNS there though. Is the service starting correctly?

                                      Thanks. I stand corrected. I didn't know I was supposed to create the .local file. I just did so and moved the if_atlantic_load declaration to it.

                                      What about the directory for the module ? Is it really supposed to be /boot/kernel ? The package installed it in /boot/modules originally. I made a copy in /boot/kernel, but wondering if it really needs to be in two places.

                                        I believe the DNS service was starting properly, yes. In fact, at the console in the shell, DNS worked fine - I could ping internet hosts.
                                        But my client box, connected to the LAN NIC, didn't have DNS.
                                        This happened when was doing a manual kldload on the Aquantia module.

                                        Once I made it persistent and rebooted, the problem with DNS on the client went away, somehow. I don't see a good explanation for this, but it's resolved now.

                                          Ah, OK. That would almost certainly have been because the interface was down or didn't exist when Unbound started.

                                            That makes sense. Indeed the interface wouldn't have existed at boot time. But after the kldload, I had gone through the menu to reconfigure the interfaces and IP addresses, and still DNS didn't work. Anyway, it's taken care of now, thank you !
