23.7 Legacy Series / Re: Switching from IPFire to Opnsense - USB ethernet adapters

Apologies - I made a mistake - the devices are using the AX88179 which is on the HCL for FreeBSD.
Surely there must be more to it then?

23.7 Legacy Series / Switching from IPFire to Opnsense - USB ethernet adapters

« on: January 12, 2024, 12:48:32 pm »

Hi everyone

I have a minipc that I am unable to add additional Ethernet adapters to. I have 2 UGreen USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapters that work fine on IPFire. I would like to switch to OpnSense.

I tried the install and everything worked and the cards are picked up fine and available to assign. However as soon as any traffic is sent through them, the either stop working completely or intermittently work. The onboard realtek card isnt a problem.
The UGreen USB to ethernet have a Realtek RTL8152 chipset which through my reading should work with FreeBSD.

Is there anything I can do to get these to work with OpnSense? Is there perhaps custom drivers or something that needs to be loaded?
Would really appreciate the feedback

Regards
Brendon

23.7 Legacy Series / Mimicking IPFire Blue Zone in Opnsense

« on: January 10, 2024, 10:49:06 am »

Hi everyone

I am busy moving from an IPFire setup to Opnsense as it seems more active and has more functionality.
One thing that I am missing going through the setup is the ability to create a "Blue" Zone which in IPFire is the wireless zone. Basically it does the following:

Only allows clients "connectivity" if their MAC address has been added
Allows traffic from the Blue zone to the internet(WAN)  but not to the LAN zone unless specific rules are opened

Does anyone have any guide or reference to achieve this on an OPT interface in Opnsense?

Assistance is much appreciated

Regards
Brendon
