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

from here? https://opnsense.org/download/

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 Expand

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
