      But what NICs are in your pfSense device? Assuming you're not using your laptop for that.

          What us that appliance? Do the LEDs show correctly when running a different OS, something Linux based?

                      So fixed with a firmware update from the manufacturer?

                          just a follow up on this.

                          what if theres a new pfsense update. Can i update mine from the GUI?

                            If the fix here was in firmware, a BIOS update, then it would not affect a pfSense version upgrade.
