Qlogic QLA2312/2342 as WAN

pmcastilla

Hello guys,
I'm really new on this thanks to all.
I'm trying to build a firewall with PFSENSE 1.2.3 with this configuration.
I got three NIC and one fiber HBA on a Core2duo with 2Gb RAM and a 250Gb Hard drive.
I want to build this configuration

HBA (as WAN)–-------NIC1 (as LAN)
|
---------NIC2 (as OPT1)
|
---------NIC3 (as OPT2)

When I boot with PF cd I can install all perfect but when I want to choose Wich NIC Is LAN, WAN, OPT1, OPT2 and etc HBA does not in the list.
Also If I go to Interfaces->Assing isn't on the list to choose?
Could you help me or guide me?
Thank you a lot!
Pablo

pfSense 1.2.3 supports everything FreeBSD 7.2 supports.
Did you take a look at their "supported hardware" liste?

Can you post the output of dmesg?
Even if the card isn't supported, there should be a message about it.

Hi, thanks for answer the qlogic it's on the supported hardware list.
The dmesg is this

isp0: <qlogic 2312="" isp="" pci="" fc-al="" adapter="">port 0x1200-0x12ff mem 0xf0d00000-0xf0d00fff irq 21 at device 9.0 on pci7

Looks like you don't have the firmware installed.

Check the manpage for the isp driver, it appears to have more detailed info.

Errmmm..

This is not a Ethernet based card, this is a HBA for Fibre-channel storage attachment, like tapedrives and Diskarrays.

Not exactly what you are trying to use it for :-)
