yes, I realize that.  But you are correct.  I thought it was bootign from my USB but instead it was booting from the internal drive.  the Aliexpress vendor must have previously sold the unit and took it back on a return then sold it to me with pfsense already installed. 

good catch

Hardware and Performance / failed install - i226v NIC's not found

« on: April 25, 2024, 10:06:16 pm »

I bought a AliExpress mini/PC/Firewall that was advertised to support OPNsense.  It has  4x LAN 2.5G i226V cards.  But when I try to install OPNsense 24.1 I get an error that says:

Code: [Select]

default interface not found -- Running interface assignment option. 
Valid interfaces are:
No interfaces found!
pfSense cannot continue without at least one Network Interface Card."
I see on the forums people are having luck using i226v NIC's but I do see some posts that say the yare a problem.

Sorry, I'm new to OPNsense so I realize this might be a well known issue or that I'm missing something basic here.

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated!  Thx
