LAN NIC pulping

Jsetive

Hello,

I can't get conenctivity from NIC i choosed to LAN.
This stopped working is was working for the time i've installed the pfsense.

I couldn.'t get more information, i checked the logs but i don't saw nothing, maybe checked at worng place....

I checked the switch, change it also, changed the patch cord and nothing result...
Also changed port speed , when it is in autoselect i get the status above, when i choose 1000baseT <full-duplex> the port still up, but i can't get connection.

Thanks in advance.

After check events in LAN, i saw this:

Probably not.
You have realtek NIC, they are known for not playing nice.
Search on this forum, there is another, alternative realtek pfSense driver. Install and activate that one.

Yup, check for watchdog errors from the realtek driver. If you see any you definitely need the alternative driver.
