I am just getting started with OpnSense and have been reading up a ton and stumbled across this thread, so wanted to get my NIC updated to limit any bashing head on desk moments.
That said, I wanted to thank Brandywine for all the information on this. I live booted OpnSense, mounted a USB thumb drive with needed files, and was able to successfully update all 4 ports on my i226-v (ver4) card from 2.17 to 2.32. I did have to use the 2mb file in the "main.zip" file shared by Brandywine in post #19. Trying to download it from Billy Curtis git page on my win11 laptop was giving me a small 100kb ish corrupt file for some reason (I blame Microsoft).
For those wondering, the card I purchased off Amajong is this one: https://a.co/d/8qAk2sz
Again, it's a 4 port i226-V (ver4) card that comes with 2.17 firmware.
@Brandywine, if possible it may be a good idea to add the link to your "main.zip" to your post #39 instructions (or add the 2mb file to the i226.zip) to have everything in 1 spot. Either way, I really appreciate all the info/instructions on how to update these things.
Now I'm off to mount a fan to the NIC.. poor thing is getting a bit toasty running in the Dell 3240 compact I jammed it in..
