      @stephenw10 Thank you I just try in a VM I create with exactly the same version and setting of my pfsense...

      My goal is to make my 10G network card working on the pfsense

      I have the chance (now, was not the case before) to have 10G internet access 😊

      So I 'll try with a freebsd with the same kernel and see

        Get a device, or NICs, that is known to work at that speed with pfSense is probably way easier.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          I end up with error <=> I can't compile the driver...

          /usr/src/aqtion-freebsd-0.0.5/aq_main.c:197:57: error: too many arguments provided to function-like macro invocation
          197 | DRIVER_MODULE(atlantic, pci, aq_driver, aq_devclass, 0, 0);
          | ^
          /usr/include/sys/bus.h:854:9: note: macro 'DRIVER_MODULE' defined here
          854 | #define DRIVER_MODULE(name, busname, driver, evh, arg)
          | ^
          fatal error: too many errors emitted, stopping now [-ferror-limit=]

          In the main the function put 5 arguments in the bus.h that function is only expecting 5 arguments.. mismatch

          the code is not working properly

          I have no idea how I can run my 10g network card on my pfsense :-(

            What were you compiling against? For which pfSense version?

              I was compiling on a Virtual Machine running freebsd 14.1 (couldn't get the 14.0 as my pfsense version) / kernel 2.7.2 as my pfsense version...

              I was compiling the source C for the network card 10g

              The driver for the card I have exist for a kernel >= 3.10

              So no package / driver for any 10G card :-(

              So I'm stuck and very frustaded

                That's almost certainly a Linux kernel and FreeBSD is not Linux.

                Did you checkout the FreeBSD git source from the correct commit hash as shown above?

                  @stephenw10 I did and I found the above topic from onoseto on Apr 25 2024 at 6:43PM

                  Attaching the Aquantia driver for latest pfSense (2.7.2) ....

                  I try to follow but I get errors.

                  It's just pity

                    Hmm, and you're tying to compile the kmod pkg? I'm confused about where that Linux kernel reference came from?

                        @stephenw10 the référence comme from the contrcutor of the network card <=> they say kernel >= 3.10...

                        But the issue is that I have the same NIC Aquantia Corp. AQC107 I can see listing the device on the pfsense running the command pciconf -lv

                        The output is:

                        none0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x020000 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x1d6a device=0x07b1 subvendor=0x1d6a subdevice=0x0001
                        vendor = 'Aquantia Corp.'
                        device = 'AQC107 NBase-T/IEEE 802.3bz Ethernet Controller [AQtion]'
                        class = network
                        subclass = ethernet

                        So the card is seen by freebsd...

                        But I'm stuck cause no package / no compilation possible
                        Any help will be greatful

                        Warm regards

                          You have a link to that?

                          It's seen as a PCIe device on the bus but it's not recognised by any driver so not usable at that point.

                              There's no FreeBSD driver there, only Linux. And FreeBSD is not Linux!

                              So that driver will never work in pfSense and the kernel reference is only relevant for Linux.

                              You need to compile it from the FreeBSD source to have any chance.

                                Indeed, so I try but it doesn't work

                                I build a freebsd VM and install the appropriate package to be able to compile...

                                I get the source https://github.com/Aquantia/aqtion-freebsd

                                But I get error:

                                usr/src/aqtion-freebsd-0.0.5/aq_main.c:197:57: error: too many arguments provided to function-like macro invocation

                                In the main the function put 5 arguments in the bus.h that function is only expecting 5 arguments.. mismatch

                                the code is not working properly

                                I study the C a long time ago (I'm old :-) ) and I never used after.
