Will Pfsesne support Marvell AQC113C-B1-C Nics
-
I am considering getting a new box to replace current system, however the one I have set my eyes on, has 2x Marvell AQC113C-B1-C 10Gb-t nics.
I just wanted to ask if there are any plans to add supported drivers in any future updates?
-
NIC driver support is driven by FreeBSD, not pfSense itself.
Save your sanity and stick with Intel NICs

@elvisimprsntr Not the answer I wanted but the answer I had expected

Others have made it work for earlier versions of that but it requires some messing about. And because it's not included in the default install it makes reinstalls and upgrades much more difficult.
See: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/155264/can-t-assign-nic-aquantia-corp-aqc107
But additionally as far as I can see the FreeBSD driver doesn't yet support the 113 NIC:

@stephenw10 Thanks for this info. I hope later down this may not be the case. Since I practice to think of my pfsense as an appliance, I would rather not tweak it but will take a look.
