      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!
