Intel Quad NIC not working in pfsense 2.1
-
Oh yes, its working great. But not on any of the three lga1155 boards I have tested it on..its not recognised by the boards. But it's currently running perfectly fine on an older lga755 board.
It's been mentioned that newer motherboards with UEFI may be the cause for it.

But one of the lga1155 boards, a Gigabyte z68x-ud3h-b3, did not have an UEFI bios…and still wouldn't recognise it...

Having this same exact problem with my new setup. BIOSTAR NM70I-847 motherboard and an Intel 4 port NIC. Boards got a soldered on Celeron 847 w/ NM70 chipset, NIC is a Intel Pro/1000 PT. Any one else having this same problem?

That boards absolutely has an UEFI. All intel chipsets 6 series or later have UEFI.

also having this problem - any potential solutions?

Oh, is that right. Okay, I did not know this. Thanks.
As a side note, I ended up getting a I350 T4 card from Ebay instead. Working great on my ASUS P8H77-I motherboard! :)

I probably should of checked before I went ebaying…
The Intel Pro/1000 PT QUAD PORT PCIe x4 card (Pro1000/T) seems to be having the same problems.
It does NOT appear to work in my SuperMicro X10SLL-F LGA1150 Xeon E3-1230v3 board.
It works perfectly in my Biostar Hi-fi A85W A10-6700 Board.
This is the card that has the 2 controllers with the PCIe bridge chip onboard.
This link also covers it pretty well: https://communities.intel.com/message/104432

Hi folks,
if the cards must not be transporting to much traffic, Soekris is also offering a 4 GB LAN Port
NIC that is sufficient enough to handle, it is called Soekris lan1841, so it will be a low cost
solution. For greater installments it would be perhaps good to know that HotLava is also
offering MultiPort NICs based on Intel chip sets. -
Hi guys,
I have a "39Y6138" quad port pci card on an asus "p8h67-m pro" (latest BIOS installed) and the newest pfsense "2.2.2" only recognized two ports. I have tried many options at "/boot/loader.conf" (and "/boot/loader.conf.local" too) like:
hint.agp.0.disabled=1
hw.pci.realloc_bars=1Do you have another recommendation? Have you detected similar issue? Have you wokerd around?
As I could check, there is information about FreeBSD/Debian has updated em(4) driver and it's used in the latests versions of pfsense.
Thank you in advance.
Best,
