      Go To System >> Advance >> System Tunables >> add new
      Tunables : if_qlxgb_load
      Value: YES

      That won't work there, it's a loader varialble you need to put it in /boot/loader.conf.local as @dotdash described above.

      The system tunables section there is for sysctls, it equates to sysctl.conf in FreeBSD.

          I have this card installed in pfSense 2.4.5-RELEASE-p1 (amd64) but unfortunately I get for both Lan Interfaces lq0 and lq1 "No-Carrier" and status down. Though the bios and also pfSense recognize the card and the driver also seems to be loaded.

          Can anybody help me to get this card working?

          Output following commands

          device qlxgb
          : strings /boot/kernel/kernel | grep qlxgb

            Try running ifconfig -vvvm ql0 when it's connected.

            Does the card itself show link? Does whatever it's attached to?

No link light (only briefly on during boot, but than switches off) For testing connected to media > rj45 converter, also nothing happens. By the way I gave 3 of those cards, each of them same result

                Hmm, it only shows 10Gbase-SR as an available connection and you're trying to use 10Gbase-T.

                If you try a different SFP+ module in the NIC does it show any other available link types? Or any further info from the module?

                It may just not be compatible with 10Gbase-T modules.

                  Hello Steve,

                  Thanks for your help. I was under the impression that DAC cables with 10G sfp+ Modules (for short distances) were compatible with 10Gbase-SR and the this NIC can handle both 1Gb (because the media converter that I bought for testing can only do 1Gb) and 10Gb. (because I thought the only difference is that copper is used instead of fiber). So am I wrong and must the NIC itself also be 10Gbase-T compatible?
                  Quite complex (for a newbie) all these different cables and modules for 10G sfp+ NIC's Also it is interesting to see that the DAC cable works fine between two Media Converters (I have two of them) So probably you are right and is the NIC not 10Gbase-T compatible and now I am curious if the Media Converters will be 10Gbase-SR compatible?

                  Anyway I will buy 10Gbase-SR modules and see what happens than. I will keep you informed.

                  Maarten

                    Thinking about it, most likely is that the media converters are the problem, not the DAC cable because I also received a Cisco SFP H10GB CU cable together with one of the NICS, so I suppose that should work. Tomorrow I will receive a new computer on which I will install Freebsd or Linux and one of the other NIC's and connect the pfSense box directly to this new computer.

                      Ah sorry, I thought you meant SFP+ RJ-45 modules but in fact you mean separate media converters?

                      I would also expect those to work with DAC cables though maybe not at 1G. That often requires setting the link speed manually and it doesn't appear to be giving you that option.

                      I would still try some different modules in there to see if it reports anything different.

                      You could also try just linking the two QK NICs with a DAC cable directly just to see if they do then link and what media the driver reports.

                        Hello Stephen,

                        I installed a second pc and connected pfSense with the linux guest pc (Both with an HP Qlogic NC523SFP nic) and now both interfaces are up. (also the port lights of both nics are burning) It seems that the problem was with the media converter.

                        Nevertheless I get no connection between pfSense and the guest pc. On pfSense I continuously get the following error

                        Jul 29 19:28:47 pfSense kernel: ql0: qla_hw_send: (nsegs[1, 42, 0x0] > Q8_TX_MAX_SEGMENTS)

                        Jul 29 19:28:47 pfSense kernel: ql0: qla_dump_buf8: qla_hw_send: wrong pkt dump end

                        The above message stops when I assign a static ip address (in the correct ip range! Because the guest pc keeps searching for a dhcp address) but I still don't get a Lan connection. Also Status/DHCP Leases in pfSense stay empty though I Enabled DHCP server on LAN interface

                        Both nics are set to 10Gb full duplex (the guest pc manually) And the hardware of both pfSense and the guest PC is 100% identical.

                          Some hardware off loading error maybe? Make sure that are all disabled in Sys > Adv > Networking.

                          Otherwise that's probably a question for the FreeBSD forum. There are likely many more people running those NICs there.

                          This looks relevant: https://www.reddit.com/r/freenas/comments/957hz0/hp_nc523sfp_10gb/

                            Hello Stephen

                            It seems to be a bug: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=226217
                            also they show how that bug can be fixed and as I am not a programmer I don't how to do that.

                            But luckily there is also a simple workaround for it: First take out the cable(s) and do: ifconfig ql0 & ql1 mtu 1500 and that works fine, I get a connection! 😊

                            Now I am putting these commands in /boot/loader.conf.local and will check if this also works. I will let you know

                              Unfortunately loading these commands don't work with /boot/loader.conf.local

                                Yeah, those are not boot loader commands.

                                You might be able to run them as early shellcmds either directly or call a shell script:
                                https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/development/executing-commands-at-boot-time.html

                                They have to be run with the cable actually disconnected? Not just DOWN the interface?

                                  You are probably right, but I did not yet try that. Also I will try to find the source file with the bugs on FreeBSD, change the lines with the bugs, compile the file and than copy the new file to pfSense.
                                  I will keep you informed about both solutions
