      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!

              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
                      CPU: i3 6100T@3.2 Ghz
                      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.

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