Does anyone has used this pcie network card Brostrend 2.5G in Opnsense

(1/1)

Dear All,

I'm new here and I would like some helps from you.

As am new in linux, I try to build a firewall at home with an old pc but recently I have purchased BrosTrend 2.5G pcie network card from amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C4LB5TY8?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

I would like if someone has used this card in installing OPNSENSE, because Opnsense don't detect the network card when try to install it. So is there a way to install the driver for the network card in the installation of the OPNSENSE?

Please any help.

Best Regards,
Mensinhl

Patrick M. Hausen:
1. OPNsense is not based on Linux.
2. If the card is not detected, it's probably unsupported.

That being said you could try to install the os-realtek-re plugin. No guarantees, though.

Greg_E:
It does say "latest Realtek chip", read into that what you will. It's always nice when they are willing to tell you which Realtek chipset they are using. I would guess an RTL8125 which should have some support since other people are using them.
