      Hi guys,

      I have been using my Rosewill RNX-N300X in a windows machine without issues for a few years now. I recently decided it would be put to better use in my pfsense system, which is hosted on a dedicated Dell 2850 (overkill, i know). Problem is, seems as if pfsense is not detecting the card.

      Personally, having limited knowledge with linux, let alone bsd based systems. I personally stick to debian myself, I am not sure where to begin troubleshooting.

      I did run an ifconfig -a and the interface simply does not show up. I proceeded with lspci, but seems that is not implemented into this system. Rather than adding a bunch of stuff I do not need, I'd like to know where you guys, the professionals, would begin.

        Pciconf -lv is the BSD command you are looking for.
        Dmesg will show if the card is detected at all.

        -lsf

          If I am interpreting this correctly, it is detectign the card, however there isn't a driver installed.

            Well, I am conidentally trying to do the same thing with the same kind of card, so my question is, how do I go about installing the drivers from the disk?
