It has a C3558 CPU with integrated X553 LAN controller which connects over = MDIO to a Marvell 88E6190 switch.
Out of the box the X553 backplane is detected but there doesn=E2=80=99t see= m to be any attempt at probing the MDIO for connected devices.

I=E2=80=99ve played around with the Intel ixgbe drivers, compiling the kern= el etc to see if I can figure it out but I=E2=80=99m really struggling to u= nderstand what needs to be done.

At this stage I=E2=80=99m reaching out to the community to see if anyone ca= n clarify something for me=E2=80=A6.are there some fundamental changes or a= dditions required to the drivers to make this work, or is it something that= should work already but needs some options enabling or configurations twea= king. I=E2=80=99m reluctant to put more time into trawling through the code= if it=E2=80=99s a =E2=80=98simple=E2=80=99 configuration issue.

Any pointers would be very welcome.
Thank you.

I think the TL;DR is that you need pfSense Plus since the= required software to get it to work isn't publicly available.
