Hi,
So I have a spare server I wanna use with pfsense to create route between vlans for a large network traffic, therefore i'm gonna need to use a high bandwidth network adapter for the job, The server has a Mellanox connectx-5 network card but the operating system does not recognize it(FreeBSD 11.1 - pfSense 2.4.3). I guess it is a driver related issue, so I tried to compile the drivers in another FreeBSD 11.1 VM and copy the modules to the pfsense server but it does not work(getting errors when trying to load the modules after copying it to /boot/kernel).
I have some intel 82599EB 10-Gigabit cards laying around that I can replace with this Mellanox card. The question is, does anyone have experience with this card and can assure that pfSense(latest 2.4.3) recognizes the intel card ?
