      Currently trying to use a BOXD525MW. It has an onboard ethernet port (Realtek8111) which works just fine, but when I insert this card Intel PWLA8391GT into the pci slot, neither the onboard nor pci card ethernet ports are recognized. I have tested the ethernet card on my desktop to confirm it works.

      Any ideas what might be wrong?

        If anyone comes across this in the future with the same problem…I removed the pci card and installed pfsense using only the onboard NIC, then I added hint.agp.0.disabled=1 to  /boot/loader.conf.local then rebooted the machine and reattached the PCI card.  It was recognized as is now working great.
