HI

I run pfSense as a Vm in my Proxmox host which in turn I put behind pfsense, so I can acces Proxmox GUI from pfsense LAN.
I added a third network card which actually is an usb/ethernet adapter. I wanted it to work in pfsense and create a new subnet for guest devices, but it seems
that pfsense can't see it. I remember that I plugged it alrady some time ago and it used to work perfectly meaning that pfsense could see it at the time, so I don't know what is the problem with it and what I'm doing wrong now.

My setup:

Code:
# the PVE managed interfaces into external files!

pre-up /usr/sbin/ethtool -s enp5s1 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface enp3s0 inet manual

iface enp5s1 inet manual

iface enx0050b6e77283 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet manual
        bridge-ports enp3s0
        bridge-stp off
        bridge-fd 0

auto vmbr1
iface vmbr1 inet static
        address 192.168.5.2/24
        gateway 192.168.5.1
        bridge-ports enp5s1
        bridge-stp off
        bridge-fd 0
#VM-LAN

auto vmbr2
iface vmbr2 inet manual
        bridge-ports enx0050b6e77283
        bridge-stp off
        bridge-fd 0
#USB


vmbr0 on physical NIC enp3s0 is pfsense WAN
vmbr1 on physical NIC enp5s1 is pfsense LAN (in which I put proxmox itself too)

I can access Proxmox GUI via IP 192.168.5.2

As you can see pfsense don't see it. I remeber that when I plugged it some time ago OPT1 popped up in the menu above, so I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Could you help me figure it out please? Thanks
