Unable to use BCM57810 properly, need new drivers
-
Ok, my final test (at least on RC1)...
I'm running the last ODI firmware now, and I'm using:
flash set LAN_SDS_MODE 5 [ lan_sds_mode = 5(HiSGMII MAC) ]
This forces 2.5Gbps all the time.
Exiting from UEFI, and starting POST, once the system goes fully up, the interface (SFP) doesn't want to come up, so I have to remove it, and insert it again, then is able to "power on", and after a while, it gets PPPoE and everything works fine.
If I perform a reboot on Proxmox, the interface is able to come up w/o doing anything more, howerver, I got those errors before it got a public IP from PPPoE:
After is UP, no more errors, or anything.

Ah, interesting so the NIC is passed through to pfSense in Proxmox? I'd forgotten that! So when pfSense is rebooted the NIC may not be reset in the same way it would be running bare metal.

Yep, probably is that. Once you are under VM, lots of things changes too.

Btw, I'm under v2.8.1 now.
Good to know:
Added: Support 2.5G SGMII (SFP GPON ONT) in bxe driver (QLogic NetXtreme II BCM57810):
https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/16321Can't wait for v25.11

Mmm, that's the same patch that's in 2.8.1 though.
