      @pfPanda I decided to bit the bullet and got the ASUS TUF B460M plus mobo, Intel Core i3-10100, 16GB DDR4 RAM, started with one Intel i350-T2v2 pcie lan card, reused an old SSD and power supply and case.

      I installed the console with video and keyboard option from a dvd, and I've got to say for the most part it was pretty smooth. I restored the config from my SG-3100, adjusted the interface mapping, and that went well too. The only gotcha so far is that the mobo LAN, Intel I219V, wasn't recognized. I went down the rabbit hole of trying to download, rebuild and install Intel's latest BSD drivers, but hit a roadblock and stopped. I'm hoping that in pfsense 2.5, which I think uses BSD 12.0, it will include the updated drivers. I just ordered another i350-T2v2 and am getting ready to cut over to it.

        Boot a snapshot and see: https://www.pfsense.org/snapshots/

        What's the PCI ID of the on-board NIC?

        The I219-V is not that new. Surprising it isn't supported already.

          @stephenw10 thanks for your interest and reply. note: my i350t2v2 is inserted in the video card pcie slot (and i have another on order that i will be placing in the other video card slot aka physical pcie16 slot).

          I hope this helps answer your question (i was originally just going to provide an excerpt from the file for pci entries but figured the rest might help with context)

          Thanks again and I welcome your thoughts,

            The output of pciconf -lv would be more useful I think.

            Looks like it's probably this but no useful info there:

            pci0: <network, ethernet> at device 31.6 (no driver attached)

            We can see that no driver is even attempting to attach to it.

                If you put that in code tags ``` it makes the thread much more readable.

                none3 and none4 ar4e both network devices with no driver.

                none3, 8086:0d55, appears to be an I219-V

                none4, 8086:2723, appears to be a Wi-Fi 6 AX200 card. Definitely no driver for that.

                That NIC looks to be supported in 2.5:

                  test

                  is that the code tags you speak of? (sorry, i'm a noob to posting here... thanks for any helpful suggestions to make it easier on you and everyone).

                  What does your gut tell you? Is it just a fluke that the driver didn't get loaded? Definitely didn't expect the wifi to work, and it wasn't part of the plan for the firewall so that's ok. I had hoped to have the onboard LAN port for the WAN port for pfsense.

                  PS - I tried to go back and change my previous post to incorporate the code tags but it was getting flagged as spam...
                  Thanks,

                    Yes those code tags. 😁
                    And, yeah, the Akismet spam plugin really hates edits on posts with any code. It won't even allow me to do it. 🙄
                    You can probably do it in a few hours but I wouldn't worry.

                    What you're seeing is expected, that NIC is not supported in FreeBSD 11 and hence pfSense 2.4.5.
                    It is in 2.5 snapshots and will be in 2.5 release.

                      @stephenw10 now that i read your reply even more carefully, you did say 2.5 👍

                      I think I know better than to ask when 2.5 will be coming out 😉

                          Not related to your question, but :

                          @pfPanda said in Question about motherboard compatibility:

                          WARNING: / was not properly dismounted
                          WARNING: /: mount pending error: blocks 512 files 1

                          this should be repaired asap.

                          Your system, the motherboard/freeBSD combination has ACPI issues, so the power button should not be used to shut down the system. Use the console or GUI power down option.

                          No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                          Edit : and where are the logs ??

                            In all likelihood that was fixed at that point, the system runs fsck on every boot.

                            But if you reboot and still see that you should manually run a check.

                            And, yes, avoid powering off unexpectedly.

                              Thanks @Gertjan for noticing that. You are both right... the next boot fixed it... and two boots later, i got a repeating error (can't recall now exactly what it was) that filled the console screen up and kept going. i did a little research and decide the drive was EOL, junked it, and replaced it with an nvme m.2 stick on sale, which has been working fine.

                              the old monitor i was using for the console display decided to go as well, which caused me to reconsider keyboard+monitor+mouse console, and to look at going with just a serial console. Mobo has a serial header on it so bought (presumably) the right cable to go 10-pin to 9-pin dsub on open case card slot, then null modem cable, then to a startech 9-pin to usb adapter (i also tried an old itach serial device as well). On pfsense web interface set the serial port on, as primary console, and tried 115200 and 9600 baud. Did a quick test of startech to an old video switch with serial interface and it seemed to work ok.

                              So i hooked my pfsense box temporarily up to my main monitor and hooked up the serial interface to a windows 10 laptop, with correct driver installed, and usb-to-9-pin->null modem cable (female both ends 9-pin)->9-pin on interface card slot on pfsense box case which ends at 10-pin mobo header. I am using latest putty for windows on my laptop connecting to COM4 (which is where the driver set up the com port for going to usb cable).

                              In both 115200 and 9600 cases I get either a screenful of garbage or compressed graphical blobs. I did some internet reading, and looked at some of the files on pf box, and decided to ask for some help :O) .

                              Here is TTYS file:

                              # getty The program to start running on the terminal.  Typically a

#       include none, when no getty is needed, and xdm, to start the

#
# type The initial terminal type for this port.  For hardwired
#      terminal lines, this will contain the type of terminal used.
#      For virtual consoles, the correct type is typically xterm.

#      unknown when the terminal type cannot be predetermined.

                              Any help would be greatly appreciated (I've already wasted spent a lot of time playing with this) 🤕

                              I'm pretty much ready to drop the new box in place of the SG3100, except I'd like this to work in case i run into any trouble in the future. I do plan to take another look at the BIOS to see if i need to turn off looking/halting for keyboard, mouse, or monitor (as this will be headless deploy at home).

                              Thanks in advance.

                              Oh, anybody hear any news on pfsense 2.5? 😳

                                Hmm, well there is some output there at least.

                                Did you verify the null-modem cable is good on the other device?

                                Do you have 'console redirect' enabled in the BIOS? What speed is it set to?

                                I would at least try all the common board rates:
                                9600
                                19200
                                38400
                                57600
                                115200

                                  @stephenw10 Thanks again for your input.

                                  I thought to try new null-modem cables and thought that was a reasonable suggestion, so i ordered a few... took 2 weeks with, well, how things are right now. Tried them out and no difference.
                                  I went digging back on the special cable to go from mobo header to db-9 interface... the mobo manual tell you where pin 1 is, and names the pins, but doesn't tell you how to count them. I thought I had the correct cable, that did some swapping of pins, but on further investigation, I was wrong. So I purchased a new 10-pin mobo header->9 pin db-9 cable (which took 3 weeks to get here, again, just saying why it has taken so long for me to report back). This new cable is "straight-thru", so pin1 on 10-pin mobo goes to pin1 of db-9, pin2 on 10-pin mobo goes to pin2 of db-9, etc... so i poped that in, connected things back up, started up putty, and booted my computer, and right away things were correct😂
                                  I honestly thought it was some mis-configuration of speed or parity or stopbit, but nope, just the cable 🙄
                                  And on the no-keyboard+no-monitor front, i was able to boot headless, no monitor or keyboard or mouse. I am used to dealing with previous mobos where there was a specific entry in bios to adjust... i think 🤔 it was called something like "Halt on", and you'd have a dropdown list to choose from with things like, "all", "no keyboard", "all errors", "hd error"... something like that, but no such animal 🐼 in this particular mobo's bios.
                                  So I've put my DIY-firewall into production at home (sounds pretty fancy at least 🤡 ), and aside from a few challenges it's working great so far.
                                  CPU sits usually at between 0% and 1%, sometimes briefly at 2%, with the cpu throttled back to 3GHz still. And that includes doing activities where it would peg the old firewall's CPU at 60%!! My i3 is also running much cooler at 27C vs 67C!
                                  Got suricata running after it refused to start... i hit the internet and found others that had similar issues, and upped the streams and flow memory caps and it worked. I have 4 instances running, one on each physical interface (I would have had 5 but still, ahem, waiting for pfsense 2.5, which looks like it's coming soon (for real🐵 ).
                                  Got pfBlockerNG-devel up a few hours ago... fought with it a bit but think it's good for now. might have to revisit which feeds I use.

                                  So anyway, appreciate everyone's help. I appreciate the good person who had posted up (elsewhere) about that particular suricata issue i ran into, with a detailed solution walkthru and photos! So I wanted to give back a little and just update on my DYI project, and hopefully some small tidbit i went thru helps somebody else out 🤠

                                      @pfpanda Hi hope you are fine. I have purchased a Gigabyte Vision G motherboard, and paired it with my Intel Core i3 10100F processor. But I'm facing several issues with the BIOS Update. Could me please guide me or suggest to me some kind of solution.
