      @tictag you can for sure add drivers to linux.. modprobe, etc. You can always normally recompile the kernal.. Keep in mind pfsense isn't linux.. So take your talking about adding or changing the driver(s) in proxmox.

      I use to be a big fan of running pfsense as vm many years ago, but once I went to its own hardware - it is much nicer and easier.. Sure you could take snapshots for backups and switch versions real easy with a vm.. But having its own hardware is better solution to be honest just all the way around.

        @johnpoz Are you using SG-4860 right? But where you get this. I do not see in pfsense shop this one, only 2100; 4200; 6100 and etc.

          @Antibiotic the 4860 is no longer sold.. It went eol back in 2020 I think.. Still kicking it!! solid piece of gear for sure..

          I have a ssd sitting on my self waiting for me to install it, which I will do here soon - prob when I get back from my trip to ireland.. I told myself I would switch to ssd when I deployed 24.03.. the built in emmc prob nearing end of life, no real way to tell though how much has been written to it over the years.. So better to just take it out of the picture and hope to get a couple more years out of the old girl..

                    @Antibiotic I don't think the 5100 is for sale any more.. They prob should/need to update the product cycle page..

                    Yeah from here

                    https://www.netgate.com/support/product-lifecycle

                    The 5100 was EOL in dec 2023

                      Yeah, I'm thinking if pfSense works fine on its own (bare metal) then the fault must lie with Proxmox. I think Proxmox runs on Debian, but I could be wrong.

                      I've had many comments about this Realtek-based USB adapter so I figured I'd start with that.

                      Actually, you know what, I'm going to take the win today! It's working, my users are going to be happy tomorrow. I'm gonna leave this for another day.

                      Win, win, win!! It's only bloody well working!

                      Thanks for all your help chaps!

                        @johnpoz yEa but according this almost all EOL, only 4200 up to 26 year. What the reason to buy EOL. I do not understand. Netgate planning to produce new line of hardware?

                          @Antibiotic the life cycle for hardware isn't very long.. But they do support the software aspect for quite some time.. As you can see my 4860 is still running and its viable for 24.03, etc. I haven't heard of them stopping putting out new pfsense versions for it.. Only thing I heard is like the 3100 might not be viable for updates soon.. cpu not going to be supported any longer with freebsd? But don't quote me on that.. I don't really pay a lot of attention to that stuff unless its my hardware ;) heheh

                            @Antibiotic they’ve just lasted that long:) we got our 4860 in 2017ish.

                            The 5100 is EOL too. That page I expect is the replacement “at that time” not currently.

                            If you’re curious all specs are on this page.
