Errors after boot

[pstretch]

OPNsense 21.1.1-amd64. Realtek NICs.

I'm consistently seeing the errors below at boot right after the login prompt appears:

eastpect[6925]   nm1::re0^: permanently promiscuous mode enabled
kernel   648.759502 [ 320] generic_netmap_register   Emulated adapter for re0 activated
eastpect[6925]   nm0::re0: permanently promiscuous mode enabled
kernel   648.671895 [1130] generic_netmap_attach     Emulated adapter for re0 created (prev was NULL)
kernel   re0: permanently promiscuous mode enabled
kernel   648.659279 [1035] generic_netmap_dtor       Emulated netmap adapter for re0 destroyed
kernel   648.659253 [1130] generic_netmap_attach     Emulated adapter for re0 created (prev was NULL)

Can anyone give my any pointers for a fix please?

Is the network interface for re0 working?

If not, I am curious what version is your driver?

Run and post the output of:

Code Select Expand

# strings /boot/kernel/if_re.ko

Is the network interface for re0 working?

The device seems to be mostly working okay, but crashes intermittently with similar errors. Enabling IDS triggers the same errors.

If not, I am curious what version is your driver?

I've checked the logs and found:
re0: version:1.96.04
re1: version:1.96.04

Run and post the output of:

Code Select Expand

# strings /boot/kernel/if_re.ko

Output from strings /boot/kernel/if_re.ko is https://pastebin.com/iEyGTWk3

The cards are being identified by FreeBDS as:
vendor     = 'Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.'
device     = 'RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller'

Well, you are using the latest driver that I was able to find.

And when I updated to Opnsense v21.1 I noticed that the re driver was version:1.96.04 but yet the em driver was still the old 7.6.1-k (save that for another topic).

I was going to suggest to do what I did for a fix but you are using the latest version already. Sorry I am not sure what to do next?
