Title: OPNSense Installation not recognizing nic interfaces
Post by: s3c on October 31, 2023, 01:04:25 AM
Hey hey everyone.  Attempting to install opnsense baremetal on a beelink device with a dual realtek nic.  (yes, I realize that there are issues with realtek). 

When I start the installation it recognizes a wireless card but not the dual nic.  When I drop to a shell and run pciconf I can see the two interfaces but they are listed as none0 and none1.  Is this a matter of enabling or installing the realtek drivers?  I'm a bit confused as I can't find to many issues that are very similar.

Why don't you just try installing the os-realtek-re driver via System->Firmware->Plugins and see if that fixes it?

If you do not have network access yet, you can try via CLI: "pkg install os-realtek-re"

Ah yes thank you.  This worked.  I was misunderstanding the purpose of these packages in other discussions.  Thanks again.

Hi! I'm having the same issue. I'm not able to run pkg install os-realtek-re though as I have no network connection. How did you get around this? Thanks in advance.
