G'day I've been using a single and dual variant of PRO 1000 PT on our last years test rig (and that was 2.0.2 back then), normally - it should just work. The PT's are now quite "old" there have been newer cards that use less power like the "ET". (newer 1GE cards from Intel have either no or very small heatsinks while the PT had larger ones)
A good idea would be to get your hands on a FreeBSD 8.1 install disc (that's what 2.0 is based on) and get to a shell so you can see if it works. PT should be supported by "em" Adam as wrote, only newer cards will use igb. If you have lots of nics - at least that's what happened to me with 2 ixgbe and 4 igb's I had to tune the loader.conf.local to make them all working - although the kernel recognized them (that doesn't seem to be the issue yet) -- Mathieu 2013/7/19 Maik Heinelt <[email protected]> > On 2013/07/19 11:07, Adam Thompson wrote: > >> -----Original Message----- >>> From: [email protected] [mailto:list- >>> [email protected]] On Behalf Of Maik Heinelt >>> Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2013 8:41 PM >>> To: [email protected] >>> Subject: [pfSense] Intel PRO/1000 PT Quad Port Ethernet Card >>> EXP19404PT doesn't work >>> >>> We try to get working Intel PRO/1000 PT Quad Port Ethernet Card >>> EXP19404PT with pfSense. >>> Since it is an Intel card, it should work. >>> The card is brand new and tested with Linux and Windows without >>> issue. >>> >>> The card is not listed as Ethernet adapter. >>> We use pfSense 2.0.3 64 bit, latest version. >>> >>> Any hint? >>> >>> Thanks in advance, >>> >>> Maik >>> >> FYI, replying to a message - even if you change the subject - will cause >> many email programs to automatically lump your problem in with the other >> discussion thread.
