@jc1976 said in Driver Update:
I've gone through all the documentation and whatnot, and it's all just very odd to me.
My nic is a genuine intel.. it's not an intel by HP or Dell.. straight intel.. and i would've thought by now the drivers would've been updated. the I340 is a fairly old card, and considering that intel has cards that are running at 10Gb+, what happens to those who are running pfsense on connections such as that at the enterprise level?
what about the latest 800 series cards? Will the iflib work with them?
Agree that it can be very confusing, especially with Intel, because for a while (and it may still be true) the version numbering scheme used by Intel on their web site for various NIC drivers differed from the scheme used for the same Intel drivers in FreeBSD. That makes it hard to determine which is actually the most "current" version.
But for the most part, FreeBSD depends on Intel contributors to provide updates for Intel NIC drivers in FreeBSD.
