Describe the bug
Brand new installation of OPNsense v20.1 on a new hardware build, restored config from old firewall. After installing the os-dmidecode plugin, the widget is missing a great deal of information.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install os-dmidecode
2. Visit lobby dashboard

Expected behavior
More than what is being shown

Screenshots

Relevant log files
Tell me where they are or how to generate logging from the plug-in and I will add it to the report.

Additional context
My previous hardware was an older Jetway SoC build, and it had only a little bit more showing, which is why after this new build I thought I would be report it. I appreciate that the information may not actually be there to obtain, but I'd like to know for sure, otherwise I'll just remove the plug-in.

Environment
Jetway JNF795T2-Q170 with i3-7100, 8GB RAM, 60GB SSD
OPNsense 20.1.8_1-amd64
FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p20-HBSD
LibreSSL 3.0.2

@Taomyn can you provide the output of these two:

/usr/local/sbin/dmidecode -q -t system
/usr/local/sbin/dmidecode -q -t bios

Cheers,

Looks like dmidecode can't gather any data on the platform. Can't do anything about this from a plugin level unless dmidecode needs to be started with a different command sequence or something?

[Taomyn]

I've sent an email to Jetway support to see if they can explain if it's on the BIOS side, will update here if I get a response
