Killer e2500 NIC
-
Does anyone know how to get the Killer e2500 NIC to work with pfsense?
If so, would you mind sharing how to do so?
-
Please find out what kind of chip is soldered on that board and then find out if this will be supported by FreeBSD 10.3,
pfSense is based on. -

-
Anyone got any ideas on this?
-
More details needed.
There are a number of Atheros NICs that are supported by default.
What does pciconf list it as?

This is the output - I'm not sure what I am looking for:

It should be supported in PfSense 2.4 since the FreeBSD 12 (known as FreeBSD-CURRENT at the moment) manual page for the alc(4) driver claims support for it:
The last line of your pciconf output is the Killer e2500 NIC, PCI vendor 0x1969 (Atheros) and device 0xe0b1.

Unfortunately 2.4 is built on FreeBSD 11 and that does not claim to support it:
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=alc&apropos=0&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+11.0-RELEASE&arch=default&format=html
Though it is in 11-stable: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/stable/11/sys/dev/alc/if_alc.c?view=log
And more importantly it looks to be in our build source for the dev branch:

Thanks for the response. I'll wait until official 2.4 is out and hopefully all is good.
