[HECnet] Off Topic - pfSense on Hyper-V

[Supratim Sanyal]

Ok - the Realtek is part of the motherboard’s I/O panel and you have some sort of a PCI-e dual-port card with an Intel chipset. I ran into a very similar issue with my Sophos UTM9 software appliance running on Ubuntu (a quad gigabit Intel chipset card) - The numbers of packet errors would keep climbing up very fast. I switched to a Broadcom and that worked.

But when I do the upgrade doesn’t work because every packet in the WAN interface seems to get lost, it just cannot send anything to the WAN. The LAN side is fine.
