      Hey there everyone!

      Has anyone here gotten the ConnectX-3 Pro lineup of cards to work natively with pfSense? I plan to set up my own pfSense box and I was aiming to get 2 SFP ports on it.

      Thanks,
      Milan Mehra

        It is supported by the mlx4 driver.

        I tested one a while back and found it to be a little odd in my particular hardware.

        Others are using it successfully.

        If you need 10G I would be looking for an Intel x500 series NIC.
