Netgate 6100 w/ OpnSense ix[0-1] no go?

[bcookatpcsd]

I was able to get a 6100 and put OpnSense on it..

By default the installer takes the ig[0-3] lan ports and makes ig0 LAN and ig1 WAN

ix0 and ix1 are combo ports, but plugging copper into the ix0 does get link light but does not register link. Status stays as 'no carrier'.

Is there an ethtool equivalent.. or some way to enable/force the copper portion?

I found this from 2020.. but this does not seem to be related..

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
