Bump.
Anyone?

Not sure I'm posting this is the right place, but here it goes.
I'm trying to run PfSense as a virtual machine in ProxMox on my home server. Twice now I've wound up with no internet due to the network card I use for WAN (the one I plug into the Starling power brick) no longer working. It works for about a month and quits. The first time I thought I had a bad card. After the second time I'm starting to think it's the Starlink power brick providing POE. I'm using the original hardware from the Bata testing. Most POE hardware is smart enough to know when to and when not to provide power. Does the Starlink hardware operate like this, or does it constantly provide power? Also, is anyone else doing something similar with success?
Thanks in advanced for any help.

Well I managed to find out that the lights on the side of the power brick only come on when there is power provided. So no power is being supplied unless requested. I guess I just had two bad network cards on two different systems. Hell of a coincidence, but I guess crazier things have happened.
