      Oh yes almost forgot!! Current stable release as of this post installed and currently running a 1000 Gb connection, looking to upgrade.

        @whizatit you might need to look into the 500 or 700 series, Intel skipped FreeBSD support on the 225 series.

          Look good? hard time finding cards within that model with 2-4 ports.

            @whizatit said in Intel Ethernet Controller I225-LM Support?:

            currently running a 1000 Gb connection

            You're gonna need a big CPU! ๐Ÿ˜œ

            There is no i225 support in current pfSense. But there will be at some point.

              @stephenw10 Which intel cards that support 2.5 can be used?

              PLENTY of RAM and Intel Core i7-9700K 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor . No issue there!

                @whizatit got onboard 550 series on my current setup working perfectly at Gbit, got no idea if it will link up and work at 2.5 Gbit though.

                  Sorry, I was being facetious. (1000Gb = 1Tbps!) ๐Ÿ˜‰

                  I have not personally rested anything at 2.5Gb or 5Gb but there other reports here on the forum of Intel base-T cards supporting that currently.
                  https://forum.netgate.com/post/955570

                  I don't believe there are any that support fibre at those speeds currently. If you need that your options are the Broadcom card with hacked firmware or some Realtek cards.

                    @stephenw10 Im looking for an Intel multi gig card that will support 2.5 Gbps as i currently have 1.5 Gbps internet and the LAN out is 2.5 Gbps along with my 2.5 Gbps switches etc.

                    My bottleneck is the 1Gbps Intel pro card in the PfSense box atm.

                      Right, it looks like the NIC linked there supports that: X710T2LBLK

                      I've never tested that myself though.

                          @whizatit Netgate has added Intel i225-lm support: https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src/commit/402cb8c4ab502887dc8b8651646890b8e047dd17

                          Just took a look at the code quickly, it seems that 70% source code are based
                          on Linux's igc, which is GPL license. Is Intel's igc dual licensed under the
                          BSD and GPL licenses now?

                              The igc driver is in 2.5.0, but support may vary depending on the card. There may be some cards out there not yet covered by the driver or may need IDs added and so on. The only way to know for sure is to try it, or at least compare the IDs of the card against the driver code.

                                Any updates on this? It looks like the new Netgate 6100 uses the i225-LM and is taking advantage of the support included in 2.5.0+. Is there is a list of tested i225-LM cards somewhere?

                                  You can see the driver supported devices here:
                                  https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src/blob/devel-12/sys/dev/igc/igc_hw.h#L44

                                  As far as I know though the only tested NIC is that in the 6100:

                                  igc0@pci0:4:0:0:	class=0x020000 card=0x00008086 chip=0x15f38086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
                                      vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
                                      device     = 'Ethernet Controller I225-V'
                                      class      = network
                                      subclass   = ethernet

                                    I decided to give it a try and picked up a PCIe adapter for my Netgate 7100 and the dual port QNAP version listed by @whizatit and tested with 21.05. The igc driver seems to be correctly detecting both I225-LMs properly, and the port responds properly when forcing speed and duplex (as confirmed by watching ifconfig and the switchport that the I225-LM port is connected to). That said, I have been unable to get the I225-LM port (I am testing with igc0) to receive traffic. Packets show up as "errors in" in the interface counters. arp on the 7100 only shows the I225-LM interface, packet captures only show outbound traffic on the 7100 and captures from a device connected to the I225-LM show outbound traffic and inbound arp traffic from the I225-LM.

                                    I tried disabling hardware checksum offloading, but this alone doesn't appear to have done anything.

                                    Any recommendations for what I should try?

                                    Here are my pciconf, ifconfig and sysctl output for this card:

                                        Yes, at least for 10,100, and 1000 (both full and half duplex) it does. I don't have a 2500Base-T equipped device to test with yet. Note that ARPs transmitted from the I225-LM port to another device connected to the port are getting through to the device, but the responses back from the device do not appear to be making it back to the I225-LM as the ARP request (from the I225-LM) and reply (from the device) continuously repeat. Here is a sample from when attempting to ping the connected test device on 10.222.222.2 from pfSense:

                                          You can see the driver supported devices here:
                                          https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src/blob/devel-12/sys/dev/igc/igc_hw.h#L44

                                          As far as I know though the only tested NIC is that in the 6100:

                                          igc0@pci0:4:0:0:	class=0x020000 card=0x00008086 chip=0x15f38086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
                                              vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
                                              device     = 'Ethernet Controller I225-V'

                                          @stephenw10 can you share the options that are enabled for the I225-V with the 6100 for reference?
