Chelsio T520 not working as WAN interface

Yes large packets would be my first thought. Disabling pf wouldn't affect that though.
However it does disable pf-scrub. Perhaps you have packet fragments that are not being assembled correctly. Maybe the Chelsio card is doing something with them, it has all sorts of offloading hardware that we don't use.

You can disable pfscrub separately in System > Advanced > Firewall & NAT.

Hello I am having a very similar issue! I have a chelsio t404-bt and I am using Centurylink. Which WAN tags vlan201 and pppoe. This setup worked fine with 2 intel nics. Now with the chelsio card I get an WAN IP and I can traceroute from pfsense out but I have no internet on my devices.

Any solution to this?

Do you have other connectivity from pfSense itself? Can it check for updates or install packages for example?

If so it's a different issue. Probably no NAT.

@stephenw10 no I cannot get a list of packages either on pfsense

Ok so you can ping out though?

Try pinging out with large packets:
ping -s 1000 -c 3 1.1.1.1

Try different sized packets to see if you really are seeing an MTU issue.
