Adding in NIC drivers into pfSense
-
I'm new to pfSense/FreeBSD and I have looked but haven't found much about trying to get a newly installed Intel i350-T4 NIC setup for pfSense. What I did see was that I had to compile to drivers in a live/VM version of FreeBSD that runs pfSense 2.3.3, then import a file back into my install, OR by trying a reinstall pfSense 2.3.3. I have tried the second one, but no luck it just shows my motherboard NIC as available. My next step is to try a version of pfSense 2.4.

That's all crazy.
Plug a monitor and keyboard into your pfSense, shut it down, plug the card in, start it back up, reassign the NICs. Done.

I tried that, but once it finally came back up it still showed that the mobo NIC is the only one available. Even after a re-install. I'll be trouble shooting this further this weekend, but thought I would see if anyone had any suggestions.

might be a hardware problem, have you tried the NIC in other machines to confirm it is working?
What is the model # of your motherboard?

Just found my solution, turns out it was the PCIe slot I was using was bad, so I moved it up one and it's working now. Thanks for the suggestions.
