Intel Ethernet I219-V Support in 2.3

maverick_slo

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).

maverick_slo

Ahhh so from head to stable.

Got it, thanks man!

still trying to make this happen in FreeBSD 10.3 (so automatic in pfSense 2.3)

maverick_slo

That would be great :)

I`m just planning on changing 2 boxes :)

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.

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

maverick_slo

Ou yeah :)

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.
