Nice result!

I ran into the same situation. This post was super helpful to me!! Thank you for the help!

Hi all,
I'm happy you've found this post helpful and I hope it saved you from frustration and precious time trying to understand why it's not working.
I'm updating that the machine's uptime is1 Day 06 Hours 44 Minutes 41 Seconds. No errors/link status change seen in the logs of my NICs.
Look and feel very stable.
pfSense FTW! -
wrong site, sorry!
-
@dobby_ Sorry, I don't understand your post and how it's related here. care to elaborate?
-
Hmm, yeah that looks like a mis-post?
-
Hi community
I'm also in the same boat. Is there any ETA for this to work in pfSense CE 2.7 Development?
Depending on the timeframe, Im willing to use the "Plus" method with a USB to Ethernet device. Any recommendations for working USB NIC?
-
I had a Spigen CA100 USB adapter that worked great. Pfsense recognized it as an interface without any problems. I also tried a "Pluggable USBC-E2500" and that one wasn't recognized by pfsense. I had both adapters and one of them worked and the other did not. I'm not really sure what made the difference.

RTL8152 1G vs RTL8156 2.5G. The 8156 is significantly newer so not yet supported in FreeBSD 12.
The ure(4) driver supports rtl8152
rtl8156 is supported by the cdce driver in FreeBSD 13.Steve

USB 3.0 to RJ45 GBit/s "for" pfSense
Runs out of the box -
@dobby_ just got my adapter which is recognised by pfsense. Thanks for your advice!
Is it possible to setup CE with a new/blank config, upgrade to plus and then restore my CE config? Or would that revert the whole box to CE? -
Is it possible to setup CE with a new/blank config,
upgrade to plus and then restore my CE config?I can´t say something about this, I am on 22.09 Devel
and was only using my config from 22.05 to 22.09 Devel
and all was working fine.Or would that revert the whole box to CE?
No I don´t think so, I would say your backup is not able to
be used in this case and the config backup someone other should be jumping in. -
Yes, you can restore a CE config into Plus. No, it will not revert it to CE.

I also just picked one a machine with the Intel i266 NICs and I am trying to install pfSense. Is it possible to install pfSense Plus directly and not have to upgrade from the CE version? I don't have a USB to Ethernet device to get the initial CE install setup.
-
Not yet unfortunately. We are working on it.
Can you install and upgrade on something else and then move the drive?Steve
-
@stephenw10 I don't have anything readily available to install and upgrade on. Do you have a timeframe of when the drivers will be available in the CE version or the direct Plus installer will be available?
-
An CE snapshot built on main should be very soon now. There are still issues we are seeing but it's certainly good enough to test the hardware.

I have just installed the latest 2.7.0 CE snapshot and can confirm that the Intel i266 NICs are working.

I’m sorry to ask. How do you update to a CE snapshot while the NIC is not functional? By USB, is there a compact procedure somewhere?
Thinking about buying the new 226 NIC for my router.
