      Update: pfsense 2.4.3 x64.

      I had an old box that was running pfsense, and decided it was time for an upgrade. Purchased an ASRock H370M-ITX/ac, which has 2 on-board NICs. I'm under the impression these are 2 independent NICs: 1 for WAN and 1 for LAN. It seems to me it's an issue with drivers, due to the "none@pci..." part. Here's my pciconf output:

      none5@pci0:0:31:6: class=0x020000 card=0x15bc1849 chip=0x15bc8086 rev=0x10 hdr=0x00

            Doesn't look like it is picking up a driver for the I-219V. You might see what happens in 2.4.4-RC real quick.

                @derelict I think it picked it up. It's now listed as em0. Confirmed it no longer says "none@pci".

                  Thought that might be the case. We don't ship any hardware with those NICs currently so I wasn't exactly sure. I remember there was some sort of delay getting that into FreeBSD.

                    @derelict Ok, so 2.4.4 definitely got me the driver. Separately, moving from my old to new was a bit clunky.

                    • Upgraded my old from 2.4.3 to 2.4.4, backed up config.
                    • Uploaded new config to my new box, prompted me to adjust the interfaces then apply.
                    • Hit apply, it complains about the browser not supporting cookies.

                    I tried being smart and manually adding "cookie_test" that it was looking for but nothing. I'd enter in the correct credentials, it'd refresh but not redirect. Eventually I think it rebooted, and I couldn't access it. I then determined it applied my config but not the interfaces. I set the interfaces to the correct ones, but still not accessible. When I reset webConfigurator password, then everything kicked in. I think it had something to do with backing up on an HTTPS to an HTTP. My old box was using HTTPS on 4443. Best guess anyway.
