      Hi

      I have PFSense 2.0.1 installed and I can manage the onboard interfaces well WAN and LAN.
      At the moment im not near the firewall because it's not in production mode, tomorrow I'll send all the related logs for you to help me out.

      Regards,
      Brian Stivala

        Looking at the, always useful, De-Manufacturing guide for this box, the daughter board looks quite complex. It's not well defined but I suspect that's the fibre option.

            Hi,

            As you can see I have both onboard network cards, FXP0 and FXP1 but the quad card is not recognisable. In the pciconf
            there is the quad card I think. Am I right?

            none1@pci0:0:9:0:      class=0x020000 card=0x00000000 chip=0x02011617 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
                class      = network
                subclass  = ethernet

            Regards,
            Brian Stivala

              Yes, slightly odd that it appears as one ethernet device but there you go.
              PCI VID 1617 is Rapidstream Inc. They are a company who Watchguard acquired and are mostly responsibly for that box as far as I can see. There is very little information about this stuff on the net. It may be easier to assess this from photos or chip IDs.

              The other unrecognised device your have VID: 13a3 DID:0006 is a HiFn crypto accelerator chip, model 6500. This doesn't look to be supported by the hifn(4) driver unfortunately. Might be worth some Googling though.

                As per this link http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/7039/rapidcard.jpg The chipsets in the red box are the same as onboard, Intel 82559ER.

                By the way this is a Photo that I've took of Watchguard Firebox V80

                  It's clearly a fairly complex NIC, it has SODIMM slots!  ;)
                  What is under that heatsink? It may be a PCI bridge of some sort. However the documentation decsribes the additional interfaces as accelerated NICs for internal traffic. It could conceivably be some type of switch that appears internally as a single NIC. That's how many SOHO routers are configured.

                    Given that the device identifies itself as a Network/Ethernet device: @brian.stivala:

                    none1@pci0:0:9:0:      class=0x020000 card=0x00000000 chip=0x02011617 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
                        class      = network
                        subclass  = ethernet

                    (not a PCI bridge) and the documentation @stephenw10:

                    decsribes the additional interfaces as accelerated NICs for internal traffic.

                    I would consider
                    @stephenw10:

                    It could conceivably be some type of switch that appears internally as a single NIC.

                    a highly plausible suggestion.

                        My guess is that there is no driver for that card in FreeBSD (at least not in the base system) and consequently you won't be able to use it in pfSense. But Google often turns up things that surprise me. You might find a proprietary driver (or source code thereof) or some programming documentation or …

                          If I had that box I would try, carefully, to remove that heatsink to find out what's underneath it.

                          You can also look at the CF card for clues as to how Watchguard's OS (Linux) talks to the card.
