Hello everyone.
i have a problem installing pfsense on Hp pro 3500 MT (i5 3th/8Gb) and intel Quad port ET server Netword adapter
case 1 : installing Pf Without the card,everything go normal but when i add it and i start the system it stop after initiating the 1st and 2nd port (igb0 & igb1) stop at igb2 ,and i got this message :
    igb2:using MSIX interrupts with 5 vectors
    igb2:the eeprom checksum is not valid
after that i chance this file in pfsense “/boot/loader.conf” by adding “hw.pci.enable_msix=0” & “hw.pci.enable_msi=0”
after that i got the following error :
    igb2:using legacy interrupts
case 2 : installing Pf With the card,everything go normal but i can only see two interfaces “igb0 & igb1”
when i check de shell for de pci list “pciconfig -l” i got de following output
    igb0@3:00.0 and igb1@3:00.1 and none2@4:00.0 none3@4:00.1

PS: on  windows all interfaces work fine no probleme .

Now im asking the community for help, im realy stuck i dont know what to do next , im thinking to update the firmware of the card and adding driver to the kernal ,or just go the simple way and use windows 10 as server with hyper-v . 
thanks you all.

Sorry I can't help you with this issue specifically, but this might help.

 

I don't know if this is allowed or not, but you may find better support on forums.lawrencesystems.com

 

Tom Lawrence who runs the website has a YT channel were he goes in-depth with pfSense and other opensource projects. His forums tend to be more technical and networking based than here, so you may have better luck getting some help there.

Last time I saw something like this it was a fake Intel network card.  Does the card have a yottamark validation sticker on it?
