media: Ethernet autoselect is not negotiating the speed

[nocturno]

After moving my OPNsense from VM to a MacMini Late 2012 I'm having issues with the ue0 USB to Ethernet adapter (I know is not recommended but the Mini only have one ethernet port) This is what I got so far any idea what could be causing the issue its the Realtek drivers or something like that. The Lan port is working but very slow if I do an Internet speed in the OPNsense I get the correct speed 850 MBps but the clients connected to the Lan port only max to 200Mbps.

Any idea what could be causing this issue?

you could try the os-realtek-re plugin.
It installs the vendor's driver instead of the freebsd one. It might only support up to 1 Gbps though. Not sure.

you could try the os-realtek-re plugin

try it with same results

It could be the USB port bandwidth that is limiting. You might consider trying an Apple thunderbolt 2 Ethernet adaptor but that makes you use the hdmi port for graphics.

Thank you. Sadly this Mac mini is older only have thunderbolt 1 and there is no adapter that run at 2.5Gb. I ended up installing Openwrt and the adapter works at full speed.
