Crashing
-
BIOS was the first thing I updated. It had an OEM on it. I disabled the onboard NICs. I am using the Intel card. I don't know if I can install win 7 on it, I don't have any keys.
-
I'm looking for a key and passing it in ZIP (and I will delete it later), because everything needs to be updated, not just the BIOS
----ZIP
----------this is location of the ZIP let me know, if necessary and I will refillPlease let me know, if you downloaded it...
-
BTW, what is the type of intel?
It's worth a try, remove the Intel NIC and enable only the Broadcom LOM (5716):

@DaddyGo
i don't see a link to any files, just dashes. and the word ZIP and a smile emoji. -
Intel pro 1000 is all it list in dmsg.
-
yes, because I posted the link and you left the forum....
I know Win7 is no longer supported and is not an important OP system, but I didn't want everyone to download this key.I intended it only for you to help
I will reupload when you are online again
(then I pay attention to your activity) -
Found this https://www.reddit.com/r/PFSENSE/comments/frac4z/245_and_intel_pro1000_vt_quad_not_friends_anymore/
I have switched over to the built in nics (bce) and a fresh load to see if that makes a difference.

Now you are here?

-
Regardless, what I wrote is valid!
These are the Dell hardware FW upgrades under Win7 that need to be done, intel.inf, etc -
@DaddyGo Yes very valid!

@DaddyGo got it thanks a million

You welcome
if the FWs are out of date, FreeBSD cannot handle them
-
when you are done with the task, I will be at your disposal if you have any questions

Got everything I could update taken care of. The lifecycle controller would not run on win7pro. The intel card would not update, not support on that model. No update for the sata controller. BIOS has the latest update. On board NICs updated (going to disable them asap, they use a lot of cpu, suricata running). How do I switch the drivers from igb to em)? I am also open to any tips also.
Thanks

All right,
yes not everything can be updated, but the essential parts is done
have you just done a fresh installation from pfSense 2.4.5 and the automatic hardware detection add igb(4) to your Intel NIC?this may be interesting:

yes fresh load
-
there are problems with the auto-selection for igb (4) driver?
do you experience the problem outlined in your first post?the igb(4) driver kit almost always works perfectly
