Intel 82580 i340-T4 support?
-
I know, its old. Trying to use it with a gen2 HyperV VM fails.
According to this, driver "em" would be needed, but pfSense is using "igb". So maybe that is the problem?
Can I change the driver myself?Sry, noob here.

@Bob-Dig - I believe the i340-T4 should be using the
igbdriver. However, in pfSense 2.5.0 it now interfaces primarily throughiflib. What exactly isn't working?https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/freebsd-12-sysctl-system-parameters.78806/

@tman222 I just updated the posting.
Problem also for me is, that I can't upgrade, I have some bugs with that, so I have to start from scratch. And for that I would like to have optimal conditions, eg using gen2 vm in Hyper-V, if possible. -
@bob-dig
FWIW, I use a Gen1 with the i340 with 2.5 without issues. It routes and firewalls, what else do I need? Is Gen 2 really necessary? -
@provels gen1 works for me too. But because I have to start fresh... can't tell either if gen2 it is worth the hassle.

You can't just choose to use em or igb. They recognise specific hardware.
Some devices may have moved between them across versions but you would have to recompile a different version against the current codebase etc.
