      What's the PCI ID? Check the output of pciconf -lv

      What error is shown in the boot logs?

          Well is shows the chip is 8086:15F2 which is supported by the igc driver in 2.6. It's also not the i225-V that had the issues with rev <3. So I would expect that to work. Check the boot log for attach errors at boot.

            I'm using the official 2.6.0 image provided.

            This is even the best! Original downloaded from the
            pfSense servers and you can´t go wrong with it.

            However, my device does not recognize the i225 v3
            NIC properly, is there something wrong?

            I can´t see the i225v3 but I am able to see the i225-LM
            and it looks like it was recognized by pfSense.

              It's showing as an unrecognized there. `'noneX' indicates a device with no driver has attached to it.

              If the driver is trying and failing to attach there will be errors shows in the boot log.

                @stephenw10 I am trying to add a realtek card to my system as well, but I am a complete noob. I have pulled the realtek package in and installed it, however I do not know how to complete this part-

                Then create the file /boot/loader.conf.local and add the lines to it:

                if_re_load="YES"
                if_re_name="/boot/modules/if_re.ko"

                Can you please tell me how to complete this part?

                  At the command line run: `ee /boot/loader.conf.local``
                  That will open the file in EasyEditor. Add those two lines to the file and save it.
                  Then reboot to apply that.

                          Pardon me for necro'ing this thread. The link https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/latest/All/realtek-re-kmod-197.00.pkg doesn't working anymore

                          Unit: Dell Wyse 5070
                          WAN: The built in realtek adapater (works just fine)
                          LAN: M.2 A+E to ethernet dapater 2.5 Gb/s - RTL8125B (doesn't show up as one of the ethernet adapters during boot up)

                          Please help, thank you.

                            In 2.7.2 it's in our repo so you can just:
                            pkg install realtek-re-kmod
