            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.

                  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?

                              @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?

                                        I would install it clean from snapshots: https://www.pfsense.org/snapshots/

                                          If you were installing version 2.6 CE with ZFS
                                          you could try out to upgrade to 2.7 Devel, if
                                          not or if hardware will be not fully compatible
                                          supported either part wise or fully, like in your
                                          case I would also tending to install fresh like

                                          An 2.7 devel image on USB stick would be best matching.

                                            Thanks for replying so fast, appreciated.

                                            Currently running a Intel NUC7i3BNK with this NIC Intel® Ethernet Connection I219-V.

                                            I was thinking of installing the nightly 2.7, boot it with I226-V support. And then upgrade to pfSense plus 22.05 where the driver is also embedded. Then restoring the config when back on 22.05 the same as my current router.
