No link with Intel E810 on Opnsense 26.7 / FreeBSD 15 when DDP loaded

[bugacha]

Upgraded to 26.7 today and lost links on E810-XXV-2 , failed to establish any carrier.

I had this in loader.conf.local on 26.1

# cat /boot/loader.conf.local

Here what I see in dmesg :

I don't have 15.1 on a machine with an e810 yet, so I can't compare directly (version, at least). I'd update the NVM and see if that helps. Do you have SR-IOV enabled in BIOS?

Just booting the 15.1 installer, my e810 links fine... but doesn't load the DDP. I can mess with the installer, but it'll take some time.

Hi, I upgraded my big firewall test machine today to 26.7 with DDP enabled on the E810 and it seems fine.

I also have a 4-port e810.



Mine works fine, although I just checked and there's an update. Is it a good idea to update it?
