Hi All, I'm very new to OPNsense & I realise it's going to be a step learn curve so please forgive my if the questions are basic.
I have completed a bare metal installation of OPNsense 25.7-amd64, FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE-p1, OpenSSL 3.0.17 on a HP Elitedesk 800 G3 i7-7700 3.6GHz with 16 Gb of Ram. The system also has a HP NC365T 4-port Ethernet Adapter, making a total of five network ports. This is where the first issue has developed.
My intention is to use the MB NIC as the WAN port and one of the HP NICs as the LAN. I have tried several times with the MB NIC but every time I restart OPNsense the WAN information on the start up screen is blank. The first time I moved the WAN to one of the spare HP NICs it worked as expected.
With a bare metal installation is there any way to confirm that the MB NIC has the correct drivers installed and that it is functioning correctly?
