Intel Ethernet I219-V Support in 2.3
-
2.3 runs/follows the 10.3 beta builds. If it got committed upstream then it could/should be in there
-
2.3 already has what will become 10.3-RELEASE, does it not work there already?
-
No, it does not currently work with the latest build of 2.3. I see in the link below the driver has been updated, just can't tell which version of FreeBSD it will go in.

I asked here: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=106845.msg595253#msg595253
Driver 7.6.1 is already in freebsd 10.3 beta2 but not in pfsense yet, at least I think that it is in beta 2 -
Heres the freebsd commit: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/commit/9accef3f0f76cde9f02a5d55f391aa02355ddc2b

last update of relevant files on pfsense repo is >=21 days. the freebsd commit is from 12d ago.
-
Exactly.
No support until they merge … -
That link is for HEAD, not stable/10. The changes we have are the latest ones from stable/10. To compare properly, look at the same trees:
FreeBSD (stable/10):
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/tree/stable/10/sys/dev/e1000/pfSense (devel, which tracks stable/10 currently):
https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src/tree/devel/sys/dev/e1000/Doesn't look like that commit was MFCd back to stable/10, and it this point it is unlikely it will.

Thanks Jimp!
Well you clarified some things to me :)
Well we can always compile own kernel :) -
Jimp if you don`t mind…
What means MFC? :)And their HEAD is like pfsenses master?
Thanks!
-
What means MFC? :)
Merge From Current (typically to -STABLE).
And their HEAD is like pfsenses master?
No, our master is currently following -STABLE (what will become FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE).
-
Ahhh so from head to stable.
Got it, thanks man!
-
still trying to make this happen in FreeBSD 10.3 (so automatic in pfSense 2.3)
-
That would be great :)
I`m just planning on changing 2 boxes :)

New "soon to be" pfsense user here :)
Just installed Untangle 12 and managed to get my i219-V up and running on it after some voodoo and a lot of coffee just to discover that I totally do not like Untangle.
Any clue if I can easily compile and install e1000e in pfsense?
pfsense can see my i211 just fine.
Latest version from Intel is 3.3.3 which is working in Untangle. -

seems it made it to "stable" or am i overlooking something ? so if nothing comes up, it'll be there on the next round of imports
-
Ou yeah :)
-
Seem like IPfire 2.17 92 (not FreeBSD) already has Intel i219-V support.
Tested and works great until pfsense adds support. -

Linux and Windows drivers are more common and BSD not really, and on top this NIC is
pretty new, so I think in the near future this NICs might be also supported under FreeBSD. -

o The em(4) and igb(4) drivers have been updated to version 7.6.1 and
2.5.3 respectively. Among others, this brought support for i219/
i219(2)/ i219(3) hardware found with Skylake generation and newer
chipsets as well as an IPv6 workaround for a silicon erratum of 1G
server products driven by igb(4). Additionally, the DMA and TSO
segment handling of these two drivers has been fixed and cleaned up.
