pbear Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Hi everybody, I just wanted to warm people that this chip isn't currently supported by pfSense/opnsense. I bought this DUAL NIC: https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B07TD58PBQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 And nor pfSense neither opnsense could detect it. I finally managed to install pfSense using their v2.5-beta which obviously includes the required drivers. (I didn't find a beta/futur version for OPNsense. Maybe they don't propose any ?) And to top it all, it worked as our firewall/router for some days, then suddently, as we were watching tv, one of the 2 ports died. It still can get a physical link, but doesn't want to carry traffic anymore. I've returned it and bought a dual Intel NIC. More expensive but hopefully more reliable. Happy new year, Quote Link to comment
Hydranmenace Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I had just ordered https://www.amazon.com/Ziyituod-Ethernet-Interface-Converter-1000Mbps/dp/B07R8KKD33/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=Ziyituod&qid=1610481250&sr=8-2 which I think is the same card. Cancelled when I saw your post here. Thankfully I saw your post within actual minutes of placing the order. I don't know what pfsense even is because I'm a newbie but I do know I would prefer maximum compatibility with everything. Would you mind telling me what intel NIC you went with instead? I was looking at this: https://www.amazon.com/10Gtek-Gigabit-Ethernet-Converged-Network/dp/B01LXTF48X/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=dual+intel+nic&qid=1610481374&sr=8-3 My router supports link aggregation and I think I would like to use it and I don't know if it will work with unraid.

Ford Prefect Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 ...that second card, based on Intel 82576 will work well. Quote Link to comment
pbear Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 Hello, That's exactly the intel I bought ! @Ford Prefect This intel was not detected by opnsense too but it was by pfsense even with the pfsense stable version, this time. Anyway I should receive today a nuc QOTOM that I've ordered on aliexpress/alibaba. I think it's better to have a dedicated device to run the firewall. Quote Link to comment
Ford Prefect Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 ...actually I was referring to@Hydranmenace above, asking for a card supported in unraid.I have one of these little "pfsense appliances", you are referring to as well in my holiday home.It has 6x I-211 NiCs working well with unraid and hosting an opnsense VM and smarthome dockers (8GB, I5-6100 with 1TB NVMe and a single SATA SSD in the array)...like it a lot.Gesendet von meinem SM-G960F mit Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
