Netgate XG-7100 - Optional interfaces
-
Hello,
I relaunched my request to the support last week, and they are not able to give me any time line of when this will be working...
It seems to be a driver problem.I hesitate to send back the hardware.
For the moment, we bought a router which is just unusable...
-
Hello,
Just to keep you informed, I decided to send back the router to Netgate.
I need a router and I can't wait indefinitely.Very disappointed...
I work on PfSense systems since several years, installed on self-made hardware, that's why I decided to buy an "official" dedicated machine for that system.
I'll start again making my own machine, that's ultimately the best solution. -
We have found the cause for this issue. Turns out it's a bug in coreboot which prevented the PCIe x4 slot from functioning properly.
We are working on a fix, and will update this thread as soon as an updated coreboot is released.

@ivor On August 6th. a member of your sales team confirmed to me that the issue with the 4-port NIC add-in card should be fixed with the 2.4.4 release.
Is that still the case? -
Yes. I have tested the new Coreboot version myself and add-on cards function as expected with it.
The new Coreboot update package with it included will be in the 2.4.4 repo.Steve

I'm having the same problems on 2.4.4-RELEASE (amd64). I received the optional 4 port card today, installed and reinstalled pfSense, allowed rules for all. Can ping inside the firewall, but nothing from/to the ports. Interface stats shows 0 packets.

Did you update Coreboot as well? https://www.netgate.com/docs/pfsense/solutions/xg-7100-1u/adi-bios-flash.html

I didn't realise that was separate procedure. The pfSense image I received from support, I'll have to investigate how to update Coreboot. Cheers for the direction!
update: Updated Coreboot from package manager and works perfectly! Thanks for the help!

What do you do if you have upgraded to the latest pfsense but the Netgate Coreboot Upgrade option isn't in the System menu?

@tawsenior Nevermind, I went into the Package Manager and found it. Thanks.
