Try load intel igp driver
It may be that the igp driver is not loaded.
The igb driver supports Gigabit Ethernet adapters based on the Intel 82575 and 82576 controller chips:
WARNING: The “igb” driver is often complied into the FreeNAS kernel so these next steps might not work.
If this does not work then just comment out the loading of the “igp” driver within /boot/loader.conf file.
Place the following line in /boot/loader.conf:
- /boot/loader.conf
if_igb_load="YES"
NOTE: There are other tunables too.
NOTE: You might need to reboot to be certain the driver is loaded.
You could also try to load it manually:
kldload if_igb
Check if the driver is loaded
kldstat
returns:

kldstat reports that if_igb isn't loaded, so it must be compiled in.
