Hi,
I got problem with BCM957504 card:
Pfsense sees the card but any transceiver 10 or 25GB inserted into the card provokes a rash of errors as below.

Oct 20 10:11:21 kernel bnxt0: Timeout sending HWRM_PORT_QSTATS: (timeout: 2000) seq: 61892
Oct 20 10:11:21 kernel bnxt3: Timeout sending HWRM_PORT_QSTATS: (timeout: 2000) seq: 61399
Oct 20 10:11:27 kernel bnxt1: Timeout sending HWRM_PORT_QSTATS: (timeout: 2000) seq: 61394
Oct 20 10:11:27 kernel bnxt2: Timeout sending HWRM_PORT_QSTATS: (timeout: 2000) seq: 61394
Oct 20 10:11:27 kernel bnxt0: Timeout sending HWRM_PORT_QSTATS: (timeout: 2000) seq: 61893

Thanks for any hints.

Probably this: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/14569

It's fixed in 23.09-beta snapshots if you can test that.

@stephenw10
Sorry but I didn't write that the problem is with community version 2.7 .

It still applies, it's fixed in 23.09-beta. If you can upgrade to Plus and then to beta it should work there.

It's broken in current CE versions at least until 2.8 snapshots become available.
