      Are you able to use all of the ports on the card ? On dell R420, I was having DMA timeouts up until patched the kernel to increase the ata request timeout.

        At the moment I use 3 ports without any DMA timeouts. Can try the 4th port tomorrow, when I have patched one more line.

        4 Ports no problems :-)
        mbuf is constant

          Perfect. on my local tests, i see about 984Mbps of throughput on a single port wan. And ~1.94 Gbps on 2 ports bridged on the lan side.

          Ok. Is there any possibility to see what were the issues in operation with the previous backport? If we can verify those , i can send a pull request to repo for these patches.

            Unfortunately I have no intel network card  to test.

              Hello,

              I'm interested to have a pfsense release with BCM5719 working. How can I do since the current release doesn't seems to be compatible ?

              Thanks,
              Regards,

                Hi,
                sorry for the delay. You can compile a pfsense iso with the diffs from tuyan (http://www.4inarow.net/pfsense/bge.zip). Works for me.

                  Hi,

                  Is there a way to upload your compiled iso ? I don't have the environment to recompile the iso and i'm not sure how to do it :-(

                  I can provide an FTP or smth if you want…

                  Many thanks.

                        Thank you very much for this image.

                        Now i can install pfsense on our Dell R320 Servers.

                        The only Problem i have, that i cant update to a snapshot version 2.1.1

                        I hope the broadcom drivers will be included in another release.

                        Kind Regards

                        Boris

                        PS.: Sorry for the poor English :-)

                          Hi! I'm also having this issue with Broadcom BCM5719/BCM5720. I would like to try shikka's build, but link is broken.

                          Could someone please upload it again?  :D
                          Thank you!!

                            If you are experimenting, why not try a 2.2 alpha snapshot, and report any problems you have, rather than backporting a driver to 2.1.x?  FreeBSD 10.0 used in pfSense 2.2 should have the newer bge chipsets supported.

                            Also, even if someone does have the iso you referenced, a link to a user-compiled iso will not last long in this forum, given the recent crackdowns on pfSense development in the wild.

                              Unfortunatelly I'm stucked on pfSense 2.1 right now.  :-\

                              It would be great if someone could at least republish tuyan's patches, since the given link (http://www.4inarow.net/pfsense/bge.zip) is broken…  :P

                                Finally!  :D
                                I was able to build BCM5719/BCM5720 drivers (both 32-bit and 64-bit) using pfsense-tools RELENG_2_1 patches, no need for any additional patches. If someone need those drivers, just PM me ;)

                                  I know this is off topic. But does this device support inline IPS?

                                  Also do you know where can I get updated firmware for this device.

                                  Thanks in advance!
