      @stephenw10 I just had to reboot the router for it pickup the IPv6 addresses on the other interfaces. I was hoping to avoid that but I guess not.

            Worked great. Although I am switching to an Intel card just to make it easier to pass the NIC through to a VM (I am virtualizing pfSense).

                  @shaunmccloud did you have to compile a driver, or just add sfxge_load="YES to the loader.conf ? I tried using this HP 10G card but it was such a mess that I ended up throwing it out lol

                        You only need to add the line to /boot/loader.conf.local. The standard file, /boot/loader.conf, may get overwritten.
