Anyone run on a Supermicro X12STL-IF?

Looking to upgrade my consumer box with something more rack worthy. Search isn't coming up with any results.

Looks like https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?em(4) supports the Intel i210, and I'm seeing posts that date back close to 10 years ago talking about it. Seems so.

The i210 NICs are supported by the igb driver these days. And the driver works very well.

pfSense runs on common x86 hardware. For details to specific hardware refer to the FreeBSD 12.3-RELEASE Hardware Notes.

Something that is using the igb or em driver might be the best option to build your own rig. If TurboBoost, Hypertrading, AES-NI and/or QAT is offered this days it
would be nice.

Supermicro X12STL-IF is using something to 95 TDP watt
and that is much electric power to pay for and no Intel QAT

• SuperServer E300-9A-16CN8TP
  ~35W TDP Intel QAT, 10GBe, AES-NI
• SuperServer E300-9D-8CN8TP
  ~80W TDP, Intel QAT, 10 GBe, AES-NI, HT, TurboBoost
