Broadcom NetXtreme II & VLAN

MadX · Jul 25, 2007, 9:21 PM

Hello,

I installed Pfsense 1.2 Rc1, with 4 Network cards (2 em:intel Pro Dual 1000 and 2 bce: Broadcom NetXtreme II)
WAN on em0
LAN on bce0
OPT1 on bce1
OPT2 on em1

On the webgui if i want to create a VLAN only the intel network cards are listed, my Broadcom cards don't appear.
Any idea ?

Thanks

Guess that means the freebsd driver doesn't support vlans on them.

Broadcom drivers are less than stellar on FreeBSD. We suggest using Intel nics across the board.

Too bad for me, it's a DELL 2950 with 2 integrated Broadcom and i add a Dual intel.

I found :
"Not all NICs support 802.1Q VLANs - look for VLAN_MTU and VLAN_HWTAGGING options for your NIC in ifconfig. man vlan provides further info. I found though that my adapter (bce0) was not listed in man vlan but it did support the necessary options and worked with VLAN tagging."

So i should work no ?
