2.4.5 install, no LAN link-up detected

@DaddyGo IMM/IPMI/IDRAC whats the difference remote management is just that regardless of what the port is called. I'm thinking that the realtek port is used as management, because logically you don't need 2 NIC ports to do what this device was intended. Second, the manufacture-variation of these ports also leads me to believe this because it has RMM built-in.

Well, that's +1 for shit$ and giggles...
Chipset --> PCH-IO config --> PCI Express -->
PCH LAN Controller Enabled
LAN2 Control disabledEnabling LAN2 detects re0. I can access the GUI.
I thought I reviewed BIOS settings, apparently not thoroughly enough. I appreciate everyone's help. Sorry for the rabbit hole chase

@jdibber Just remember when you start going in the settings of PF there is a section in System->Advance->Networking, scroll down a bit and make sure the TCP segmentation is checked, I believe the Realteks and PF/BSD driver had a problem in that area. I don't have Realteks anymore so I'm not sure if it was fixed or not.

will do. thanks again

when you use it as a router (it's not just a (re) driver issue):

the interface is not IPMI, it would be in the Advantech description and there would also be BMC firmware for the unit
whereas Advantech deals with industrial control engineering, due to network segmentation, there are more eth. port on the unit
what is the lesson always check the BIOS
-
Thanks again....I do feel like a bit of a mo for not finding the bios setting from the get go

@jdibber
but you solved it
edit: unfortunately I have to warn you that Realtek is not good for these purposes (NGFW) and maybe never will be
-
@DaddyGo It doesn't have to be an IPMI or IMM or IDRAC interface for it to be used as one. I have a Supermicro board that does the same uses the LAN port for RMM. There is no BMC either. The instruction manual for the Advantech clearly states using IMM albeit its not IPMI but whats the difference.
Edit: And quite frankly these little Chinese manufactured boards really leaves much to be desired in documentation.

THX for your all help, but on my part off - topic
(the above, shell "prtsc" were all I made via IPMI, It was made from a Supermicro + pfSense unit, which is about 3,400 Km from meedit: Advantech is a thousand-year-old company, I see you don't know
has a huge reputation in industrial automation!by the way, icurrently all stuff is made in china, and we spoiled it and it’s a suck now
