          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.

              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!

                  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
                          MB: GA-H170N-WiFi

                          RAM: 8 GB DDR4@2133 Mhz
                          NICS: Intel i211 & Intel i219-V (onboard)
                          SSD: Samsung SM-951 128 GB (nvme)

                            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
                                      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.
