      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

                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 :)

                      What means MFC? :)

                      And their HEAD is like pfsenses master?

                      Thanks!

                        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).

                                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.

                                pfsense: 2.3.2

                                  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

                                      Seem like IPfire 2.17 92 (not FreeBSD) already has Intel i219-V support.
                                      Tested and works great until pfsense adds support.

                                      pfsense: 2.3.2

                                        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.
