--- Comment #4 from Jason Wolfe <j@nitrology.com> ---
This looks like it could an interoperability issue with a new firmware and =
an
old driver, we ran into this at Limelight. They moved over from outputting
speeds in mb to kb I believe it was, so the old driver gets confused if run=
ning
a newer firmware.

What's the sysctll output of dev.t5nex.0.firmware_version ? If you are hitt=
ing
this bug you have 2 options:

- Upgrade to a newer driver. It looks like you are running the newer versio=
n of
pfsense w FreeBSD 11.2, so it'd take you pulling the new driver into the 11=
.2
tree, and likely reverting a bunch of the tie in the driver has with the re=
st
of the kernel, like the epoch and TLS changes. This could get rough, but we=
 did
test this and it's doable.

- Downgrade the firmware to one that's compatible with the driver. The bina=
ry
firmware blob is actually included in the driver, but by default it will on=
ly
upgrade the firmware on the card if it's newer. If you set
hw.cxgbe.fw_install=3D"1" in loader.conf, that tells the driver it's allowe=
d to
downgrade the firmware also. Give this a try if you'd like.
