        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.

              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
                                    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.
