      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.

                                      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

                                          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.

                                          renato imported the patches 20 minutes ago. if everything goes smooth, they should be in the next snapshot
