      pfSense is not Linux, those commands won't work.

      It should show the network cards detected in the boot log. They should also appear as pci devices if you run: pciconf -lv

        Hi Steve,

        Apparently that command does not exist:

          You are trying to enter it at the boot loader and not in the OS. Enter boot -s to boot to single user mode from there and then try running pciconf -lv.

          Also you can attach images directly here. Going through Mega for one photo at a time is.... painful!

            Ah yes, i was entering at boot,
            Yes mega is painful but when i try to upload here there is a 2mb limit, so i reduce the image to below 2mb(made it 1.87mb) and get the error, "request entity too large", so i use my mega so i can at least show you the images
            Here are the results:

              Make that

              pciconf -l
              

              The info searched for, like :

              em3@pci0:3:3:1: class=0x020000 card=0x117a8086 chip=0x10798086 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00
                  vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
                  device     = '82546GB Gigabit Ethernet Controller'
                  class      = network
                  subclass   = ethernet
              

              is probably there, but you're not fast enough taking the photo.

              This is what you are looking for :

                  class      = network
                  subclass   = ethernet
              

              You'll be looking for (my five nics) :

              em0@pci0:3:2:0: class=0x020000 card=0x00db0e11 chip=0x10108086 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00
              em1@pci0:3:2:1: class=0x020000 card=0x00db0e11 chip=0x10108086 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00
              em2@pci0:3:3:0: class=0x020000 card=0x117a8086 chip=0x10798086 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00
              em3@pci0:3:3:1: class=0x020000 card=0x117a8086 chip=0x10798086 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00
              fxp0@pci0:3:8:0:        class=0x020000 card=0x01ab1028 chip=0x27dc8086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
              

              No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
              Edit : and where are the logs ??

                Hello Steve,
                I ran the pciconf -l and i can see 4 devices call pcib1, i assume they would be my 4 network ports:

                  none0@ Atom Processor Z36xxx/Z37xxx Series Trusted Execution Engine

                  there isn't any network card here
                  maybe check your bios for some related settings

                      Yeah, they are not showing as PCIe devices. Make sure they are enabled in the BIOS. That's about the only thing that could prevent them appearing there.
                      Compared to a similar system that list is very short. You may have other things missing.
