Not recognizing x520-da2
-
I had pfSense up and running as a VM in an Unraid server and decided to dedicate some hardware I had laying around to avoid network going out if I rebooted my server. I had it up and running with an Intel x520-da2 NIC with no issues. But after I took the NIC out and put it into an Asus z370-a and I can't get pfSense to recognize the interfaces to assign them to WAN and LAN. I confirmed the card was working by putting it back into my Unraid and it still worked as it should. Do I need a driver during the install?
-
You won't need a driver.
Is the NIC detected as a PCIe device at all? Try running:
pciconf -lvat the command line.Steve

@stephenw10 this is what I get:

So if those lines really aren't present then it's some low level PCI compatibility issue with that host.

@stephenw10 could it be a setting in the bios?
-
Possibly. A low level issue like that could be a number of things.
Have you tried a different NIC in the new host? Perhaps the PCIe slot/bridge is just broken?

I tried multiple slots. This same NIC works in Unraid but not in this one. I had this passed through into a pfSense VM working just fine. Could this have done something to the card?

No. Or at least I've never heard of anything like that nor could I imagine any way it could!
Have you tried a different card in the new motherboard though?
Or booting a different OS on the new board with the X520m card in it? That would tell you if it's a PCI driver issue or something lower level.
Do you have the latest BIOS running?
