      We build the module as a package so if you had it installed in 2.7.2 and upgrade it will upgrade the package and you should have it still in 2.8.

      But it appears that the driver now has two builds because the newest version is not stable with some hardware. You might have hit that since the package we build is the new version.

        Thanks. Maybe someday I will get some Intel cards but even Intel had a serious bug if I recall. There is a certain Intel card/chipset that went horribly wrong if I recall. Just can't remember what version to avoid.

          Is there an archive of 2.7.2 iso?
          (I did find 2.7.0).

          I am thinking about installing 2.7.2 under Proxmox 8.4. My current Proxmox 8.4 is giving me stable speeds of 2.35 Gbits per second with 'iperf3' tests to a Debian desktop machine thru a cheap 2.5/10Gbit switch.

              Thank you for your help. As you can see I am not ready to go to Opnsense yet. I think Proxmox will be prudent. Snapshots and portability when my lab stuff crashes such as yesterday.

                @mark_lab_user i226 seems pretty solid. It also got some good driver work done on it recently as well.

                All intel gigabit cards should be solid as well, i210, i350 etc.

                  Is it just me or the world's most trusted open-source firewall didn't post the RELENG_2_8_0 branch on GitHub anymore?
                  Are you guys using a different git repository or open-source is just a marketing ad for v2.8.0?

                          This should be in a new thread. This is really for the 2.8 announcement.

                              You can just start a new thread in General pfSense Questions.

                                I find it annoying that the Netgate Installer makes you configure your LAN and WAN interfaces, then after installing pfSense CE you need to configure them again.

                                  The new installer version (real soon now!) can pass those setting through to the resulting install. However it also requires code in pfSense and that will first be in 25.07.

                                    Can't we just have a full install ISO again?

                                    It seems there are too many use cases where that is either the best, or only way, for us to install instead of the 'netinstaller'.
