Atom C3758 - Supermicro A2SDi-8C-HLN4F - PFsense?
-
Simply put, the nic is X553, so far it's not supported yet on FreeBSD, therefore not on pfsense. It is in the works for freebsd, no eta.
As for pfsense, I would have thought it will get done as the rumour mill suggests the next batch of pfsense own hardware might be denverton based.
Until driver's supported, I'll just sling a couple of usb gigabit adapters I have lying around on it (which I actually already did, works fine). Obviously wont be as good but will do for now plus lets me play and test it all while I wait.
Edit: Possible FreeBSD will have support for X553 by end of month, maybe(?), source: https://lwn.net/Articles/735126/

The SoC integrated NICs will be X553 (1 GBit/s) and X557 (10 GBit/s) and yes both are under construction!
For FreeBSD and also for pfSense, likes shown under the following links here;

Denverton thread
Post on redditIt is in the works for freebsd, no eta.
The first Denverton (C3000) board from Supermicro was announced for August 2017 and I think
it is only a pretty bit to fast to imagine that there are drivers out now!As for pfsense, I would have thought it will get done as the rumour mill suggests the next batch of pfsense own hardware might be denverton based.
Under the twitter link (above) they are showing up one small board (nano-itx) and were talking over a greater
and stronger (more powerful) board based on that C3000 chip.Until driver's supported, I'll just sling a couple of usb gigabit adapters I have lying around on it (which I actually already did, works fine). Obviously wont be as good but will do for now plus lets me play and test it all while I wait.
For sure this board are looking awesome there are some rally interesting boards that could turn it all inside.
Supermicro A2SDi-TP8F
Quad LAN with Intel
C3000 SoC
2x 10 GbE RJ45 ports over C3000 SoC (X557)
2x 10GBit/s SFP+ Ports over C3000 SoC (X557)
Quad LAN with Intel Ethernet Controller I350-AM4
4x 1 GBit/s RJ45 over Intel i350-AM4Supermicro A2SDi-LN4F
Intel Ethernet Controller I350-AM4
4x 1 GBit/s RJ45 over Intel i350-AM4This both are offering NICs that are supported out of the box and one of them for future 10 GbE Ports too!
As said all is given here, what the nerd heart will be loving,- M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4
- much and fast RAM
- miniPCIe slot for a WiFi card

I hope so for you and others thart are willing to buy or use that Intel C3000 SoC, I personally will waiting
until the Xeon D-15x3N platform will be launched and then I must really decide if I go with the D-15x3N or the
Supermicro A2SDi-TP8F. -
C3000 is already running in the lab.

What does that mean? That it's working in closed beta?
It means they are testing it and have to wait like all others that the FreeBSD drivers will be out there!
Be patient…. -
Some news about pfSense and Intel Atom 3858 ?
Thank you

Guys any news on X553 driver?
It's still not working on 2.4.2_1 and it'a January already.
I've bought 6 pcs SYS-E200-9A with A2SDi-4C-HLN4F boards.
It's perfect all in all even Windows 2016 server works perfectly there, but not pfsense.
Any updates of manually putting FreeBSD drivers in there?
disabling virtualization or VT-d in BIOS does nothing for pfsense and NIC detection. -
I just installed the latest Devel Version (pfSense-CE-memstick-2.4.4-DEVELOPMENT-amd64-latest) on a SuperServer 5019A-FTN4 and the network interfaces are working.

Working fine here. The only oddity with the board was it did not like a bunch of USB disks, would not let me choose to boot them or see them in the UEFI. Thought I had a bum mobo because of this. Just edited the XML backup with the new ix0-ix4 NICs and imported the backup just fine.

@zeux are you okay with your 3558...i have installed 2.4.4_p1 and it all goes well..the thing is iam having problem with internet DL...normaly i have 25dl/25ul mbps...but with pfsense in between ima getting 2dl/25ul....note that UL is not affected

@ozlecz I am getting 300dl/30ul using a 5 way round robin PIA VPN outgoing setup. Using PIA's high encryption I get 150dl/30ul which may be a limitation on their end.
