      Hmm, surprised you can't disable that kind of hardware offloading.🤔

      Since it can only handle 128 addresses and has a mode where it stops filtering in hardware when it goes above that anyway.....

        Seems to be setup with vlan hw filtering. Did you try disabling that?

        Like: ifconfig ixl0 -vlanhwfilter

          @stephenw10 It looks as if I cannot disable vlan hw filtering because if I run this command the interface doesn't go up anymore until I restart

              Hmm, that's odd. Are you using VLANs on that? Do they all fail if so?

                I have a LAG with both ixl0 and ixl1.
                And on top of this LAG if have multiple VLANs.
                As far as I entered this command for ixl0, every VLANs was inaccessible. I had to restart pfSense.
                Then for ixl0 in ifconfig I had "satus : no carrier".
                I entered :

                ifconfig ixl0 vlanhwfilter
                

                and everything came back normal

                  @maximushugus The very first step in testing / problem isolation should be removing the lag. Most especially when looking at hardware filtering.

                    Mmm, I had my device in a lagg when I tested it but I was accessing over it directly not using a VLAN

                      To update on this problem, it is solved with the CE 2.8 version
