Hi All,
My understanding is that the Chelsio T520-CR network card is supported. However once I installed it into my opnsense box it does not come up in the interfaces. Is there something I need to do to get this card working??
Thanks,
Wags
I have sorted it out.
I managed to fire the card up with
kldload if_cxgbe
I then added a turnable
if_cxgbe_load="YES"
Everything working now :)
I had the same issue with the T520-SO-CR and managed to get it working the same way.
A note on the Tunables section: I set mine to: Tunable: if_cxgbe_load Value: YES. There were no quotes anywhere. Hope this helps those using Chelsio NICs.
One other question: were there other tunables added? Did you set the MTU higher? The pfsense page on hardware has a bunch of other tunables for Chelsio NICs.
Oh I forgot to mention - the Chelsio NIC with a Wiitek SFP+ to RJ45 Copper Module (10GBase-T) and it works fine at 2.5Gbps. I have my Chelsio port 1 connected (using the Wiitek) direct to an MB8611 Xfinity modem and it links up at 2.5Gbps. I'm getting roughtly 1.2Gbps (overprovisioned) on download.
Where do you add the instructions
kldload if_cxgbe
to enable the Chelsio T520-CR network card as i have the same issue.
You add a tunable:
Name: if_cxgbe_load
Value: YES
Thank you for the help.
