Well folks,

It was just an failing USB-ETH converter (joy)...

On every boot the DMA issue keeps turning up. Is there a way to store it nonvolatile?

-Boot and fixed DMA66 issue "ata0: DMA limited to UDMA33, controller found non-ATA66 cable" with: "set hint.ata.0.mode=PIO4"

Dear readers,

I'm new to OPNsense and to FreeBSD and am with interrest working to get the Nano to work on an Firebox X550e.
-Upgraded the BIOS to see larger CF disk
-I upgraded RAM to 2GB
-Written the last OPNsense Nano image to 4GB CF card (Delkin devices 500x)
-Boot and fixed DMA66 issue "ata0: DMA limited to UDMA33, controller found non-ATA66 cable" with: "set hint.ata.0.mode=PIO4"
-configure interfaces

Code Select Expand

The interfaces will be assigned as follows:
WAN  -> sk0
LAN  -> sk1
OPT1 -> sk2
OPT2 -> sk3
...
LAN (sk1)       -> v4: 192.168.1.1/24
OPT1 (sk2)      ->
OPT2 (sk3)      ->
WAN (sk0)       ->


and finished to OPNsense menu prompt.

This should be the time to plug in an PC in LAN (sk1), but my PC keeps telling me that the LAN interface has no connection. I tried the other interface ports on the firebox but without succes.

Anyone an idea to point me into the right direction?
Are the X550e interfaces "down" by default?

Best regards,

PS: Is there a CLI guide? How can I find the interface status? by using HW.eth.o...???

edit:
I added a switch and when I plug the watchguards LAN in the switch, the LEDs start blinking. So I assume there is an issue regarding auto detection. to be continued...
