      Just installed on a Lanner NCA-1510:

      https://www.lannerinc.com/products/telecom-datacenter-appliances/vcpe-ucpe-platforms/nca-1510

      For some reason the SFP interfaces (2 x SFP Intel i210) aren't being detected. Is there something special I need to do to enable? The other 4 onboard NIC's are detected fine. PCI conf shows the devices but no driver attached. I'm guessing I need to load a driver for the SFP's? I've tried loading the igb driver (kldload if_igb load) with no luck.

      Forgive me for a noob question, first time installing pfsense.

      Output from pciconf -lv shows the devices:

      none10@pci0:3:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x0000ffff chip=0x15368086 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00
      vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
      device = 'I210 Gigabit Fiber Network Connection'
      class = network
      subclass = ethernet
      none11@pci0:4:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x0000ffff chip=0x15368086 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00
      vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
      device = 'I210 Gigabit Fiber Network Connection'
      class = network
      subclass = ethernet

      And my 4 onboard NIC's:

      ix0@pci0:6:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x00008086 chip=0x15e48086 rev=0x11 hdr=0x00
      vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
      device = 'Ethernet Connection X553 1GbE'
      class = network
      subclass = ethernet
      ix1@pci0:6:0:1: class=0x020000 card=0x00008086 chip=0x15e48086 rev=0x11 hdr=0x00
      vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
      device = 'Ethernet Connection X553 1GbE'
      class = network
      subclass = ethernet
      ix2@pci0:7:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x00008086 chip=0x15e58086 rev=0x11 hdr=0x00
      vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
      device = 'Ethernet Connection X553 1GbE'
      class = network
      subclass = ethernet
      ix3@pci0:7:0:1: class=0x020000 card=0x00008086 chip=0x15e58086 rev=0x11 hdr=0x00
      vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
      device = 'Ethernet Connection X553 1GbE'
      class = network
      subclass = ethernet

        Hmm, those are supported by the driver in 2.5.X:
        https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src/blob/RELENG_2_5_0/sys/dev/e1000/e1000_hw.h#L193

        Check the boot log. The driver may be failing to attach for some reason.
        Do you have SFP modules in there? Incompatible modules can present like that.
