NIC Driver Installation In PF sense

[kanishka]

Hi All
I have a pfsense firewall which is running on 2.4.2-RELEASE-p1 (amd64) FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p6, I Recently bought a NIC, 10Gtek for X540-T2 which having 2 ports, when I plug this card it says "full-duplex,rxpause,txpause" on both ports, wich seems like duplex mismatch, when I read on post I felt like its due to drivers issue,

Intel have released a Freebsd driver for this card as well but i have no Idea how to update drivers in PFSense please guid me to solve this up, Thank you

You almost certainly don't need to change the driver from the built in one.

Full duplex seems correct. I cannot imagine you would ever want half duplex in 10GbE.

Are you actually seeing any problems?

Hi Steve I see no error with my pfsense but im worried about this "full-duplex,rxpause,txpause"!

Full duplex is correct but what it mean by "rxpause,txpause"

A little learning is a dangerous thing.

Yeah, that's normal to see on a 10G link using. Nothing to worry about there.
