Does it support EFI boot?  I was trying to install on an older machine that didn't support EFI.  I had to go find a version of FreeBSD that I could boot into and install.  Then I installed OPNSense on top of that.  I wish I would remember how I resolved it, but I don't remember which FreeBSD version I ended up using. 

Also, this is certainly a SW issue (maybe drivers maybe OPN scripts).

There is no issue in Ubuntu 18 or ClearOS. 

Did this get resolved, I believe I may be experiencing a similar issue:

[Is it possible to update the IGB driver in opnsense?]

I noticed that Intel has a new igb driver (2.5.6 -- https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/15815/Intel-Network-Adapter-Driver-for-82575-6-and-82580-based-Gigabit-Network-Connections-under-FreeBSD-?product=64403).

Is it possible to update the IGB driver in opnsense? 


Also, are these issues related:

The problem I have is that my router sees my WAN port come up, gets a WAN IP address, creates a gateway, and then sees the WAN port go down all within 8 seconds or so.

If I put it on a static address, it behaves fine.


OPN Version: OPNsense 19.1.1-amd64
Cable Modem: Netgear CM500
Router: QOTOM-Q190G4-S02
NIC: Intel I211-AT- 10/100/1000 Controller


Franco suggested the following fix:  https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/3197#issuecomment-463988437
But the same problem persists.

Can anyone mentor me through the steps to figure this out?

Here is a sample of my log:

The patch noted above fixed the issue for those that might be interested.

Strike that--- it didn't fix the issue.  Turns out I have to configure the interface using a static IP that copies the IP i know that Comcast handed out.

I will try that.  I'm trying to make sense of it all, but just to add detail -- everything works fine if I put myself on a static IP address using the settings provided by DHCP from Comcast.  Does that make sense given what this patch addresses?

I'm on OPNsense 19.1.r2-amd64.

I didn't install any updates after installing the system.  My new system (that also experiences this problem when on an intel NIC is 18.7).

Hello,

I'm setting up opnsense for the the first time and running across a problem I can't figure out..

I have a computer that has two interfaces (1) Intel NIC and (2) Realtek NIC.  My internet connection is with Comcast and I'm using a Arris Surdboard SB6141. 

If I assign my Realtek NIC (RTL8169) to the WAN device and connect to the SB6141, everything is fine.

If I assign the Intel NIC (NM10/ICH7 Family), then I have a ton of problems.  The device gets the WAN address from the cable modem but quickly (within 30 seconds) resets to being in a down state and seems to reinitialize.  It just keeps looping, WAN address assigned, Gateway opened, WAN connection goes down--rinse and repeat.

I can keep my connection working by using the Realtek connection for my WAN connection, but I'm trying to move to a QOTOM-Q190G4 mini computer.  That computer has 4 Intel NICs and the same problem happens on that setup. 

I have no clue how to troubleshoot this one.... All my searching has been for naught.  Any suggestions?
