No longer a lurker.

I'm looking to purchase a hardware device for my dual ISP home office.

Questions: Does pfSense support Intel i226-V 2.5G ports?

Any recommendations for all-black 1u firewall hardware for under $500 USD? Currently, I'm considering one for ~ $400, but it comes with i226-V 2.5G ports, and I'm reading in an old post that i225/6 isn't supported. Is that still the case?

i225/226 is supported by the igc driver in 2.7.2.

@stephenw10 So this mean I have to install that driver or are you saying its now supported by default using that driver?

[stephenw10]

It's supported by default. That driver is in the 2.7.2 kernel.
