@stephenw10 said in DYI Power Button for PC Engines APU: If it's just an ACPI power button no script is required. It will already trigger a system shutdown. Cool thank you for that information!

@n8lbv said in J1900 performance: Usually around 900mbps. But counting then on top of that the TCP overhead you will still going over 900 MBit/s, something like 920 - 940 MBit/s, so it is nearly a full GBit/s.

@jimp Just installed yesterday's snapshot and all is well. Thanks!

I use an older Dell 3020 in my home network. 2 family members work from home. I have a Dell 390 that works great too except it can’t handle i7’s. I wanted something with enough PCI-e slots I didn’t have to run a switch right away.

@impovich said in IQA89601G1P5 QAT not working: qat_ocf0: <QAT engine> qat_ocf0: no QAT IRQ instances available device_attach: qat_ocf0 attach returned 6 That is expected if there is simply no device present. or none with a driver attached. And that appears to be the case here: none0@pci0:0:16:0: class=0x0b4000 rev=0x04 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x8086 device=0x37c9 subvendor=0x8086 subdevice=0x0000 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = 'C62x Chipset QuickAssist Technology Virtual Function' class = processor It looks like the FreeBSD driver simply doesn't support the virtual devices yet: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/14173 Though looking at the code it does appear to be listed. https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/main/sys/dev/qat/include/common/adf_accel_devices.h#L12 That is in the 23.01 code so you might expect it to at least try to attach.

@stephenw10 I understand, but the cpu can easily handle throughput.

No updates AFAIK. There was a recent thread about OpenWRT on the T70 over on their forum that confirmed the e1000 patch to allow switch access is not present there either. Velocloud had patched it them selves and not upstreamed it. Though there's a good chance such a patch would not be accepted upstream anyway. Steve

OpenVPN would get a bump from IIMB in Plus 23.05 (if you can use DCO), as would IPsec and WireGuard. But on a CPU that old it's difficult to speculate about how much faster it might be.

Most DAC cables are expected to work in the 8200. It's specifically RJ-45 SFP modules that are not supported; though some do work it's unpredictable. Generally though if you can use fiber do so. Steve

@riahc8 16GB officially but reports of 32GB running on the N5105 along with info on bios updates can be found here: ServeTheHome - JasperLake I'm still waiting on the 2 port N100 they promised by end of May.

Yes, looks like it should be supported in 198.00_1.

@stephenw10 Hey, an assumption turned out right! My journey into full pfSense nirvana continues.

@tman222 said in SFP28 and SFP+ Optics Compatibility: Thanks @keyser and @Dobby_ for the explanations, I really appreciate it. If the goal is to achieve a 10Gbit link between SFP28 on one side and SFP+ on the other, do you think I would have better luck trying an SFP+ transceiver in the SFP28 cage, or going with a dual rate 10/25Gbit SFP28 receiver instead, assuming that the underlying controller on the SFP28 side supports 10Gbit operation? Thanks again. It should be even steven as the only “limiting” factor in that setup is if the SFP28 Cageowner OS supports the tranceiver you intend to use (either the 10/25 SFP28 or the 10G SFP+). The cage specifications supports both operational scenarios from a hardware perspective.

@stephenw10 This made all the difference from completely unusable beside crashing and rebooting to being usable. And so far from all testing reliable. Not as fast as Intel NICs but for 100-200mbps.. (OpenVPN throughput) perfect. I will be getting an intel i3 NUC with Intel nic this weekend to test. Nat speed: 400-500mbps. I've been stressing it for 10 hours moving huge file trasfers in both directions and doing http speedtests. both over openVPN and 1Gbps NAT. Along with "regular" Internet usage. -Steve

@daredevilbear said in X552/X557-AT and 5GBASE-T: @stephenw10 Currently on 2.6 but will try 2.7. If you get success you may be perhaps report it here, would be nice to hear something about from you. It is not a seldom question

Hmm, OK. Since you have a screenshot does that mean it did boot correctly after that? Or did you roll back the driver to get that?

Breaking new ground!

Oh? In what respect? I've not tried that, the description looks almost identical to how pfSense works with the exception of multiple routing tables. Also dpinger only monitors the gateways, or other IPs, it doesn't do any of the policy routing or traffic failover/balancing. Steve
