HP ProLiant DL160 Nic Gigabit PCIe NC320i

agarbato

Hi,

I've pfsense installed on a HP ProLiant DL160 server. I've added two double pci intel 10/10/100 cards correctly recognized by the system as follow :

em0: Ethernet address: 00:1f:29:54:5c:b6
em1: Ethernet address: 00:1f:29:54:5c:b7
em2: Ethernet address: 00:1f:29:5a:aa:74
em3: Ethernet address: 00:1f:29:5a:aa:75

I need at least one more network card for my network environment.
The two integrated Gigabit PCIe NC320i are not recognized.

Looking the dmesg I believe these are the two cards :

pci3: <network, ethernet="">at device 0.0 (no driver attached)
pci4: <network, ethernet="">at device 0.0 (no driver attached)

Which driver I need and how to install it?
Any help appreciated.

It might help if you upgrade to 1.2.1-RC2 http://blog.pfsense.org/?p=284

I can upgrade. Firewall is not yet on production environment.
Now I'm on 1.2-RELEASE.

But Why?
New hardware supported on 1.2.1-rc2?

Perry

Yes 1.2 is based on FreeBSD 6.2 where 1.2.1 is based on FreeBSD 7.0
If the nic's still aren't found after the upgrade, provide the output of dmesg and pciconf -lv
As i dont't see the nic on the FreeBSD Hardware support list or a FreeBSD driver on HP website. You probably will need to find another solution. either add extra nic's or use a vlan switch.

Just to inform that After upgrading to 1.2.1 internal cards are Up and Running!
Thanks!!!!!!! ;D

I would ask before hand for an excuse to open up this issue again, but that I have a problem here in this area and has a solution, but I can not find it.

I have a ProLiant DL 160 server, but can not install pfsense 1.2.3 RC1, the problem is that the installation was paralyzed, not moving, it stays in this instruction …
