      @michaellacroix Ha! Wallingford here.
      They're still building out a lot of CT towns including New Haven. Pretty sure there's not many areas in New Haven with fiber yet.

        @michaellacroix Houston, TX (Southeast)

        Most of my neighborhood has had Frontier for a number of years, and Verizon FiOS before that (lots of Verizon plates in the sidewalk). It just started expanding to my section starting end of June, and my street (including the front of my property) has a fiber vault with conduit + fiber ran as of 2 weeks ago...so I'm hoping it'll be ready to order soon.

        As I read more about the subject I see a lot of users from CT, so it sounds like a popular rollout spot as well.

          Hey Folks! Crazy the life my post took on. I had a little one and stepped away for a bit.

          Can someone get me up to speed? Does my script work in the latest build? Is it still needed to get VLAN0 to work?

          I am currently on: 2.4.5-RELEASE-p1 (amd64) with em0/1 nics

          Is it safe to go to 2.6.0 or should I be going 2.5.x?

              @c45p32 thanks! I thought I had seen some messages fly that my script stopped worked in 2.5.x & 2.6.x?

                @natbart Do not go to 2.6, it will break....I am still under 2.5.2 and it does work in that release....we are all waiting for a fix on 2.6.

                I am thinking about jumping ship to OPNSENSE, but I love pfsense so much that I am debating at this point since I dont know for sure its fix under OPNsense....I dont have a spare box to test and can't afford to have the wife without internet.

                    I’m using igb0 on 22.05, and I used the same script on 2.6.0 without issue.

                      It is fixed on opnsense.

                        What exactly is fixed there? The e1000 driver handling of VLAN0 tagged traffic?

                        Or it accepts priority tagged traffic without a netgraph script? Though I guess that would also require en e1000 driver fix.

                          @stephenw10 - can you comment on the ability to move past 2.4.5 and still have my script tag VLAN 0 traffic and work with my em0/em1?

                          Both ethernet ports are using Intel chipsets:
                          LAN1 = i217-LM
                          LAN2 = 82583V

                            @jarhead Thank you jarhead for the confirmation.

                            Its taking Netgate way too long to fix this problem, I am not sure if we dont have adecuate people working on the development of this solution....but if it is indeed fixed under OPNsense why can pfsense that has been longer in the market than OPN able to fix this? I dont understand.

                              As I understand it opnsense inherited this fix with the move to FreeBSD 13. That will happen in pfSense when we move from 12-stable in the next release.
                              Developer time is limited and the resources required to backport it to 12 are not justified for the relatively small number of users who are hitting it. Especially when there are workarounds and it will be fixed anyway by the base update.

                                @stephenw10 Steve, should we expect this ot be fix under 2.7?

                                is there a timely for the 2.7 release, at least is there a month where the Negate team is planning this released?

                                  Since the dev snapshots you can get now currently list 12.3 stable, I would find it surprising that they would move to freebsd 13 in mid development. Anything is possible I guess - but if I was going to place a bet, my bet would be that wouldn't happen.

                                    @johnpoz Steve, can you shine some light on this rationale?

                                      2.7 is just a number after 2.6. 😉

                                      The actual version used is not determined until a release branch is created. I expect CE snapshots to be re-based before that happens given the current development work.

                                        Steve,

                                        What does this mean "I expect CE snapshots to be re-based before that happens given the current development work"

                                        Are we expected to see this fix on the next release or not?

                                          If the fix you mean is in the e1000 driver that is part of FreeBSD 13 then, yes, I expect that to be in CE snapshots before a 2.7 release is branched.
