      A bummer, but can't be helped! I'll have to find other uses for the NIC in the meantime.
      Thanks for the quick response!

        @tmoehle Did going back to 2.6 make the VLANs functional?
        I tried it for a bit and didn't get anywhere (didn't get the re-allocate error but the interface didn't forward any traffic)
        Going back to 2.6 permanently also seems cumbersome since I could not install packages from the package manager until I update to 2.7 again.

          You can install packages, just set the repo branch to 2.6 (deprecated).

            I did a clean install for pfsense 2.6 and restored the old configuration backup. That went perfectly smooth. After that, as @stephenw10 already suggested, I went to System > Update and changed the desired branch to 2.6, so I could download packages again.

              Encouraging to hear! I will give it a(nother) proper go then.
              Silly me just read an old forum posts about the packages requiring an update, which I somehow can't find anymore so I probably didn't read something correct when I was looking for a place to download 2.6

                @tmoehle Sorry for prying a lot, but do the VLANs on your NIC really work?
                I installed 2.6 and the NIC works without VLANs.
                When I create a VLAN and assign it to an interface, No traffic gets through (oddly enough the DHCP does work)
                When I set a different network port (non bnxt) with the same VLAN to the same configured interface, it all works (albeit I have to reload firewall rules first).

                I am hoping that I am doing something wrong, since DHCP somehow still works on the VLAN with bnxt, but I don't see any issues with the gateway and the firewall rule permits the traffic.

                  @Delegator5042 My VLANs are working perfectly fine, yes. If your DHCP is working within those VLANs and pfsense is your only DHCP server, then chances are you overlook something.

                    This should now be fixed in the next 23.09 snapshots if anyone can test that.

                      @stephenw10 Will it only go into 23.09 or will there also be an update for CE?

                        It's fixed upstream in FreeBSD so it will be pulled into new CE builds.

                          @stephenw10 Hi. With pfsense version 2.7.0 im still facing this issue.

                          Will it get resolved in 2.7.2 or should i downgrade?

                              Yes that patch is in 2.7.2: https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src/commit/21d49ce6efe3883beef6d5456a3bda4194028b01
