      Good day,

      Is anyone using the Mellanox MCX512F-ACAT ConnectX-5 NIC's?
      Does pfSense support the particular cards?

      Thanks
      JR

        They claim to support FreeBSD though the FreeBSD mlx5 driver doesn't list that card specifically.

        pfSense does not include the Mellanix drivers by default, you would need to copy the kernel modules across from an equivalent FreeBSD version or compile the drivers if something newer is required for that card.

        I would test it in FreeBSD to initially if you can.
