Internal NIC dissapeared after update to 2.3.b.20160106.1309

[Sopalajo de Arrierez]

I have just applied latest upgrade to 2.3.b.20160106.1309 and, rightly after rebooting, the age0 network device does not exist anymore.
These are my network devices now:

I had to do some quick digging.

age: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=age&apropos=0&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+10.2-stable&arch=default&format=html

So, you are missing an Attansic/Atheros NIC but still have four Sun NICs.  I'm intrigued, what kind of box is this?

Does the card still exist/work?  Try Diagnostics -> Command prompt or in your case probably from the console:

pciconf -l

Does the age card list there OK?

A Barebone: ASUS PundIt PC, AMD Athlon 64-X2, 4GB-RAM. The SUN PCI-X card barely fitted in.
Very close to this one:

Indeed, it seems it does not (or at least there is no "age0" device; isn't there a more clear hardware listing on FreeBSD?):

Anyway, I booted Linux Live, and lspci shows the SUN card, but not the internal Atheros.
I think that, indeed, the embedded network card has deceased.  :(
Just a coincidence it happen on the reboot after the update of pfSense.

Thanks you, Jon.

Pleasure mate. My next comment was going to be try a Live CD on the box.  I too am trying to get to grips with FreeBSD as a second language ;)  I only found pciconf via searching for "Freebsd equivalent to lspci". Perhaps Google translate and friends could work on this.  I suppose the output of dmesg would also have shown the lack of the NIC and at least that is a command we have in common!

Look on the bright side:  you could be trying to work out what the hell is happening on a Windows TMG box/cluster.  I'm still scarred from syncing the three registry subtrees, an ADAM instance and an embedded MSSQL instance  on one that went oddly wrong a few years back for a customer. pfSense has one config file and some software.  Treat it right and it is dead easy to recover from a problem.

Anyway, I'm waffling again.  Ditch the broken NIC.  You have a lot of hardware there and if four NICs is not enough then perhaps VLANs via 802.1Q might be an option.  That box will be able to shift a lot of packets, very quickly.  If you really have a need for more networking then you should probably spend some money on it (ideally charging someone for it)

Did you upgrade from a previous 2.3 snapshot or from 2.2.x?

Please post output of 'dmesg' and 'pciconf -l'

I presume that dmesg output is from when it was working in the past. It's definitely not there at all anymore, from your pciconf output. Given it doesn't show up when you boot a Linux live CD either, it has to be that the NIC died.

What? No, it is not. That "dmesg" is from now.
Let me look at it…
... all right, it seems the card is back:

I have tested Linux on the same computer (on another hard disk), and the card sometimes does not exist… and sometimes it does exist.

Anyway, the answer seems to be the same: the card is practically dead and will only randomly work.

Thanks you.

[cmb]

Oh ok, I mentioned that because it was there and I didn't notice it had re-appeared at some point. Yeah, still a safe conclusion that it's failed given it sometimes doesn't show up at all on the PCI bus.
