2 different kinds of supported Intel NICS
-
Hi,
Have a issue that psSense 2.4 not detecting the two kinds of Intel NICs I have installed.
I have a 2 port Intel I211 (igb drivers) and a 4 port Intel I354 (em drivers).
pfsenses loads the igb drivers for all the ports instead loading the em drivers for the I354 and the igb divers for the I211 cards.
pciconf shows that the two different card types are seen…
I354 - card=0x1f4115bb
I211 - card=0x000015bbWhat this does is only 2 ports work ... the I211 ones.
Is there something to do to get this right and get the right drivers to load ?
Thanks.

What does dmesg say?
Btw. a fresh pfSense install will only use two ports, one for WAN and one for LAN. You have to assign the other ports to interfaces if you want to use them.

Both NICs should be well supported by the FreeBSD igb(4) driver in pfSense!
I have a 2 port Intel I211 (igb drivers) and a 4 port Intel I354 (em drivers).
FreeBSD igb(4) driver
DESCRIPTION
The igb driver provides support for PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet adapters
based on the Intel 82575, 82576, 82580, i21x and i35x Ethernet controller
chips. The driver supports Transmit/Receive checksum offload and Jumbo
Frames. Furthermore it supports TCP segmentation offload (TSO) on all
adapters.pfsenses loads the igb drivers for all the ports instead loading the em drivers for the I354 and the igb divers for the I211 cards.
It is a must be! Because both adapters are supported by that igb(4) driver, it is the right dirver for both cards!
pciconf shows that the two different card types are seen…
I354 - card=0x1f4115bb
I211 - card=0x000015bbThis is nothing changing on the driver support which will be not including the em driver in your case!
What this does is only 2 ports work … the I211 ones.
Did you set up the other NIC ports that there will be ready to assign as stated from @Grimson!?
Is there something to do to get this right and get the right drivers to load ?
Nothing at all, because the right driver is loaded for both cards.

Hi,
Thanks for the input.
Even when not assigned, I can only do the Led flash to identify the ports (echo f2 > /dev/led/igb[0-1]) .
The other 4 x I354 ports no led flash to identify.
When I assign WAN port to lets say igb2, and try to use / find with led flash, no flash and not traffic.
On other setups, even when not assigned (with same version 2.4) with the em interfaces, the leds would flash on all 6 ports (with only wan and lan assigned).

Hi,
has someone any clues, ideas, tracks I should explore ?
Thanks.
