      Yes definitely worth trying that. The errors don't look quite the same but might be related.

        I've just tried the command but havec this issue :
        #ifconfig ql0 MTU 9000

        ifconfig: MTU: bad value
        

        With lowercaps, i've no result in shell, but still not working.
        I've tried down / up interface.

        Currently, I bought an Intel X520-DA2 for make another test.
        I think this is a problem with FreeBSD driver ? Because the qlxgb driver is new ?

        Thank's a lot for your help!

          Just for information, I've tried "opnsense" for check if I've the same issue and still not working.
          I replace the SSD to get back pfsense (better from my opinion) and the link down just after pfsense load drivers (I think).

            try to set Speed and Duplex under interfaces to a static value instead of autoselect or default

                Does it work with the mtu at 1500?

                ifconfig ql0 mtu 1500

                    With the Intel X520-DA2, it's work fine and at the first boot with same install.
                    Maybe, it's a driver issue on pfSense for the HP card.

                      Yes, probably. Though it will be with the FreeBSD driver. pfSense doesn't have different drivers for most things.

                      If you can try verifying the behavior in FreeBSD directly.

                          to those having similar issues, please reinstall pfsense without the network card then copy qlxgb.ko from freebsd set the if_qlxgb_load="YES" in the loader.conf or create your own loader.conf.local and add the line into it, power off then install your network card. that worked for me after having identical issue. still don't understand why it sees the card but will not work my guess is that whatever pfsense does with the card may be broken or not enough to fully activate the card. this is happening in version 2.5.2. anyway hope it helps anyone struggling with this.

                            So a newer qlxgb driver worked? Which FreeBSD version did you load that from?

                              @stephenw10 12.5.2 the same version as current pfsense. What I have noticed also is heating may cause the nic not to work I have three different 10gb nics this one gets hotter than the rest. Perhaps the most hottest nics. I read it has built in control to cut off if it gets too hot so the obvious question is do you have good air flow, perhaps noctua fans or any small fan to fit on-top or close enough to cool it. Another point is that you may have to add this line of code if_glxgb_updated.ko=“YES” updated if you copied from freebsd so the default can be changed. Again I have to emphasise on cooling the nic it’s important as they get weirdly hot like touching hot pan on stove apparently it’s known issue perhaps explains why it’s cheap on eBay. Hope it helps.
