Host : Dual E5620, Tyan S7012 Motherboard.
VM : 2 vCPUs (2 sockets with 1 core per socket) 1 GB RAM, Intel i350 passthrough, 16GB vdisk, 2 vNIC
Description
This passthrough worked in XenServer 6.5 (identical VM definitions)

When the VM is booted using some linux install media (archlinux-2016.05.01-dual.iso, ClearOS-DVD-x86_64.iso) I experience no issues talking with the NIC. I get a DHCP address and ARP entries are formed without problem. I'm able to talk out to any resource I choose using any protocol.
If, however, I boot this VM using the FreeBSD install media (FreeBSD-10.3-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso, OPNsense-16.1.8-OpenSSL-cdrom-amd64.iso, pfSense-CE-2.3.1-RELEASE-amd64.iso) and complete the installation, unicast traffic is not visible. I am able to get a DHCP address if a port is connected to my existing network, however this is where it all stops. I can see broadcast traffic on the interface (both IPv4 and IPv6) via tcpdump, however I cannot form any neighbour associations or receive any ARP responses. The router on the existing network observes the arp who-has requests and when appropriate sends a response. The response, however, does not show up on on either port or in the firewall log of the VM.
