ODYSSEY - X86J4125800 v2 Network Adapters Disconnected

I just got a Odyssey-X86J4125-V2 and installed pfSense on it and ran into an issue with the NICs. Both either don’t work or are set to inactive. They both say [Disconnected] in the BIOS, even with hot Ethernet connected to them.

I booted into Hiren’s BootCD from usb to check the Network Adapters and both of the Intel I226-V NICs do not show under Network Adapters. I was able to use a USB-C to Ethernet adapter and get network, so it’s either a hardware issue with the NICs specifically or there is a setting in the BIOS that I need to enable/disable.

I’m kind of stumped and could really use some help with this.

@ghost did you solve this?
I’m in the same situation.

Unfortunately, no. Seemed Studios gave me the run around on the issue and then said I should return it to China. The cost of returning the device is the price of the SBC itself so I said fuck it and kept it as a constant reminder not to trust the Chinese.
