      Hello,

      Processor=c3558
      NIC=SoC
      Version=2.4.4 p3

      Installation went through but it has detetected my 4 Lan ports 1Gbe as 10Gbe. Any thoughts or solution to this?
      It is running fine but worry is there that there might be some impact on performance?

      thanks for any help in advance

              i must add you cant see the 10Gbe on the GUI..you can see it only on the console as you go to ASSIGN INTERFACES or on the list of interfaces before the menu comes up

                  nothing to worry about, that is just the generic name that the driver think it is
                  the real speed link is what is reported on the GUI

                      yeah, i was able to zoom in on the first image, as I told you, it's only the generic name assigned by the driver.
                      the ix driver serves alot of (intel) network card, included 10gbe

                          It's not an issue, it's normal.

                          ix is the driver. It is a 10G capable chipset and driver, but depending on the actual implementation, is perfectly happy operating at 1G or other compatible speeds/media types/etc. There are ports on the Netgate SG-5100 which are similar. They are detected as ix but the physical connection is 1G, not 10G. It will link up and run as expected at 1G.

                          Think of it similar to a 10G capable SFP port with a 1G module in it. Sure, the chip can go faster, but the media connection is only 1G.
