Quad port NIC not working

I just recently purchased five (5) Lenovo M920Q with I3 processors. I also just recently purchase five (5) H!Fiber quad port 2.5G Network Card with the Realtek RTL8125 Chip. One NIC card for each of the M920Qs. All five M920Qs came with Windows 10.

With in Windows all five NICS (4 on the NIC and the one on board or integrated) connect at 1G to a 1G switch. However, when doing automatic port assignment only the on board NIC is recognized to have an active connection. All four ports on the quad NIC and on the switch get link lights but not activity or connection speed light.

I also have two M920Q with i5 processors and they work fine. I do not know if it matters but these were running version 24.7 and I upgraded them t0 25.1. The i3's are a fresh install of 25.1.

I am going to try to install 24.7 for giggles (if I can find the image)

Anybody have any suggestions

Thank You

Did you install the plugin ? GUI or SSH would work just fine

pkg install os-realtek-re

No, I did not. I didn't have to with the i5's. However, I will try it.

Thank You that resolved the issue. All five NICS are now visible and usable by OPNSense.
