      @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'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet

                            Steve

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

                                Thanks, I tried turning hardware checksum offloading back on again and enabled IPv6 to match as much of the 6100 config as possible, but am still seeing the same issue with the in error count increasing and no packets being successfully received by the I225-LM port:

                                  You are talking about?:

                                  dev.igc.0.mac_stats.missed_packets: 1497

                                  That does seem high, especially as a percentage of the total packets received!

                                  So it's a different device ID. The registers are set differently.

                                    You are talking about?:

                                    dev.igc.0.mac_stats.missed_packets: 1497

                                    That does seem high, especially as a percentage of the total packets received!

                                    dev.igc.0.mac_stats.mcast_pkts_recvd: 281

dev.igc.0.mac_stats.good_pkts_recvd: 295
dev.igc.0.mac_stats.total_pkts_recvd: 1792

                                    Yes, this is what I was referring to. The "in" packet count shows 0 on the UI though and I haven't managed to capture any inbound traffic on the I225-LM interface during testing. Note that the sysctl output and UI Status/Interfaces text capture for this interface (third text block from my previous reply) were taken a few minutes apart so the counters are not exactly the same.

                                    Yes, but isn't the device ID difference to be expected? The I225-LM and I225-V have different IDs (0x15F2 and 0x15F3 respectively per https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src/blob/devel-12/sys/dev/igc/igc_hw.h#L44) Are there any pertinent differences in the registers between the two?

                                      Yes it is. I'm just saying it's different to the NIC in the 6100 so it may not have been tested.

                                      Are there any pertinent differences in the registers between the two?

                                      I don't know. The spec sheets don't look significantly different though.

                                        Does your 6100 have any igc driver tunables set? Here is what I am currently using (defaults):

                                        [21.05-RELEASE][root@cerberus.setarcos.lan]/root: sysctl -a hw.igc
hw.igc.max_interrupt_rate: 8000
hw.igc.eee_setting: 1
hw.igc.rx_process_limit: 100
hw.igc.sbp: 1
hw.igc.smart_pwr_down: 0
hw.igc.rx_abs_int_delay: 66
hw.igc.tx_abs_int_delay: 66
hw.igc.rx_int_delay: 0
hw.igc.tx_int_delay: 66
hw.igc.disable_crc_stripping: 0

                                        I have a 2.5Gbe device on the way and will be able to test with that shortly, but have otherwise run out of things to try.

                                          Just the same default values you're using:

                                            You may want to try the card in a Linux 5.10+ system just to prove it is functioning properly.
