I need to find out which version of the Realtek NIC driver my PFsense is using. You would think this would be simple but I've spent hours researching this. There must be at least a configuration file somewhere that states what driver was loaded at startup. Please advise.

Thanks

In the boot log is the easiest place to check. If you're using Realtek's own driver it will be reported there.

@stephenw10 No driver is listed. Just the NIC itself.

Then you're almost certainly using the in kernel driver which in 2.5.2 does not directly have a version number:

@stephenw10 Thank you. I'm having issues with dropped packets and will try the drivers from Realtek now that I know what I currently have.
