      Hello,
      I have a virtualized pfsense on esxi 6.7 on a qotom nuc 4 rj45 and found something strange ...

      This virtual machine have 4 virtual nic with vmxnet3 driver.
      All is working well ...

      now, i try to add another virtual nic but i must chose the e1000 driver !!! if not all connectivity is lost ..

      It's a know bug ? maybe something with mtu and virtual vmxnet drivers ??
      and why all is working well is i choose e1000 drivers for the newnic ?

      if somebody have already seen this , all answers is good for my curiosity ;)

      Have nice day ;)

        you can add more vmxnet3 nics ... problem is that when adding a fifth that the nics are re-ordered for some reason.

        so basically you'd need to reassign the correct nic to the correct lan/wan/vlan/....
