      Cattura.JPG The driver is loaded correctly. I think the driver is not the real problem. If it can help, my switch is a hp/aruba JL261A. In the next few days I will try to install some fiber optic transceivers.

        @cescofs said in X520 errors in 2.6 and 22.01?:

        I tried to disable "Hardware Checksum Offloading" but it didn't work.

        It didn't get disabled or it didn't affect the error count?

          @stephenw10 Can't speak for @cescofs but all that stuff is disabled on my end: 01a57332-3834-42cf-bc41-0dad77c2da94-image.png

          My error count is relatively small at 1105 with 5 days of uptime and passing through 464GiB of data but it's still higher than the 0 on 2.5.2

            Mmm, that's a very small number really though. That would not concern me.
            Is that still rising? That could all have been when the interface came up for example.

              After disabling it, the errors were still there.
              Since there are no errors in the output, the drivers should be excluded as a cause.

                @stephenw10 right after booting i had 83 errors. The current count grew a little every day for the last 5 days.

                      Do you actually see the new driver loaded though:

                      [22.01-RELEASE][admin@6100-2.stevew.lan]/root: sysctl dev.ix.0.iflib.driver_version
                      dev.ix.0.iflib.driver_version: 4.0.1-k

                          Ok, so it did load and you are still seeing the errors reported by the latest Intel driver.

                          So maybe that is the correct count and in fact the driver in 2.5.2 was misreporting them.

                              do you have any idea how to solve? it's very strange only "errors in"

                                @stephenw10 That is a very real possibility. I'm fine with that answer if it is indeed what is happening.

                                  pfSense does nothing with the MAC stats, the driver updates them directly.
                                  You could try the alternative driver in 2.5.2.

                                    Something must have happened with 2.6. Anyway, I connected the pfsense directly to my pc and.....zero errors!!!!

                                      Ah, interesting. So before it was via a switch? I wonder what's different there then. Something enabled on that port? Flowcontrol mismatch maybe?

                                        @stephenw10 That's an interesting data point. My pfSense box is connected to an Aruba S2500 and @cescofs is using an Aruba JL261A. Could very well be some weirdness with link negotiation?

                                          These are packets from the switch to the lan interface of pfsense. So there are no logs errors about them on the switch.
                                          The only thing we know is that the lan interface has problems for a few of them.....
