      I have an old FW-7551B-NG1 unit I'm using for testing and lab stuff. I just wiped and reinstalled pfSense+ on it and decided to give the new 23.05 beta a try. I noticed that now QAT refuses to attach - on the dashboard widget it shows "QAT Crypto: Yes (inactive)" despite its selection in the advanced settings. I toggled IPsec-MB crypto on and off to test, and that doesn't seem to affect it.

      A quick "sysctl -a | grep qat" shows:

      qat_ocf0: <QAT engine>
      qat_ocf0: no QAT IRQ instances available
      device_attach: qat_ocf0 attach returned 6
      dev.qat_ocf.%parent:
      
      

      Any ideas?

        Almost certainly because the module is missing in beta. It will be there in the RC when that goes public though:

        [23.05-RC][admin@4860.stevew.lan]/root:  ls -ls /boot/kernel/qat_c2*
         69 -r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  123256 May  4 19:15 /boot/kernel/qat_c2xxx.ko
        157 -r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  276928 May  4 19:15 /boot/kernel/qat_c2xxxfw.ko

          @stephenw10 That makes sense, thanks! I checked and basically all the qat modules were there except the c2xxx ones. Not a blocking issue for me and if it were it'd be my fault for installing a beta on day 1 :) Thanks for clearing that up!

            On the current RC snap we're testing I still see those errors but it does work:

            qat_ocf0: <QAT engine>
            qat_ocf0: no QAT IRQ instances available
            device_attach: qat_ocf0 attach returned 6
            qat_c2xxx0: <Intel C2000 QuickAssist PF> mem 0xdfe80000-0xdfe9ffff,0xdff30000-0xdff33fff at device 11.0 on pci0
            
            : vmstat -i | grep qat
            irq38: qat_c2xxx0                  10008          6

              @jimp Thanks - I'll wait for the RC and update this thread if the behavior doesn't clear.
