Intel X710-T4L

Greetings,
With the release of the newer X710-T4L (Q3'20 - Multi-gig adapter), is this supported in pfSense?
I see intel has a freeBSD driver, so I am just wondering if I will have to load this manually?

i'm not sure but based on this
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ixl&apropos=0&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+11.3-RELEASE&arch=default&format=html
for pfsense 2.4.5 you probably need to manually compile the driver and load it on pfsense
but for 2.5.0 should work out of the box
iflib is used

The ixl driver provides support for any PCI Express adapter or LOM (LAN On Motherboard) in the Intel Ethernet 700 Series.

Thanks, guess I will wait for stable release of [2.5.0]. Also looking forward to the eventual inclusion of intel i225 driver for 2.5gbps cards.

Need to know the PCI IDs for that card to know for sure.

x710 based cards in general work in 2.4.5p1, I have one here:

[2.4.5-RELEASE][admin@7100.stevew.lan]/root: pciconf -lv ixl0
ixl0@pci0:2:0:0:	class=0x020000 card=0x02581374 chip=0x15728086 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet
