pfsense not detecting my built in NIC
-
wget is a command line tool for downloading files from the web.
-
ohh great, hhhhh the friendly GUI make us not interesting in command line,
but the command line method remain the most strong way of configuration
ok, so i can for example load the driver by using command line mode in pfsense ?? -
If you can find the driver, yes.
-
ah, i see, this need some research on how to write the right script for doing so
is pfsense use the same syntax as linux ??? or it has specific syntax -
No. It's not related to Linux. BSD is its own OS family.
-
ok, i see, i will get around
thank you all
see you with another topic
-
Might be easier to test out something else. Have you looked at SmoothWall?
-
Easiest thing to do would be to buy an add on card that is compatible and forget about the built in NIC.
-
hhh, both of your suggestion are great and worth a try
thank you a lot -
You bet. Hope that they help.
-
oooooooooooooh, very very gooooood idea, i make another additional NIC and pfsense recognize them both
thank you very much Mr jaredBusch and Mr scott too
we learn from you too much, i hope one day i can help others -
Let us know if it works.
-
everything work like a champ
thank you very much
-
Awesome! Glad that it is working.
-
thank you very much,
and for jaredBusch i'm very appreciated for his excellent ideabest regard

I'm just curious. How did you convert the driver over for pfsense? I am having a heck of a time getting they Optiplex 3020 Internal nic to work with pfsense.
I've tried ndisgen and attempted iconv on pfsense but I've had zero luck. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

@scottalanmiller Thank you!

You will have the best luck with Intel based nics on BSD/Pfsense

I don't believe that he did. In this case, if I read what he wrote correctly, he solved the issue by buying a third party NIC to use instead. Likely an Intel card, they are the most popular now and not expensive.
