E610-XT2

JBD

I do not find information on the Intel R610-XT2 10g / nbase-t NIC in my search.

I understand that it works in FreeBSD 13 and 14.

Are there drivers in any of the pfsense versions that would support this NIC?

It looks like Intel has a FreeBSD driver package but it's not in the default FreeBSD driver which is what pfSense includes:
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/main/sys/dev/ixgbe/if_ix.c#L51

At least not as far as I can tell.

Is it something that might be included relatively soon or is it something that takes a long length of time (like years) as it seems a number of driver additions including network type have?

Given that it's already in Intel's branch I'd expect it relatively soon. It's not like igc for example where there was no driver.

There is work on going to include it and it looks like it's imminent: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D50067
