new NIC sows in interface overview but not in assignments

[genfoch01]

running on opnsense 24.712_4

I added a new nic to the machine (TEG-25GECTX) trendnet 2.5G port 

when I go to interfaces -> overview I can see  unassigned interface enc0 
but when I go to assignments the card is not listed there.
its also not listed in the dropdown for LAN or WAN

is this card not supported or am I going something wring (missing a step) ?

Thanks for your time,
GF

That is not the card you added but the IPsec device present in every OPNsense. "enc" for "encrypted".

Apparently your card is not supported by FreeBSD. Swap it for one that is.

Realtek RTL8125 chipset...

Thanks for the quick response. I will look for a card with the RTL8125 chipset

No no no! Realtek support in FreeBSD is poor. RTL8125 is what you have in that Trendnet NIC.
Check for HW compatibly with FreeBSD.
The other option is to install proxmox and virtualize. Proxmox is Debian based and has wider support.
