I got an Ice Lake-D Xeon D-1700 box as a firewall. As stated in the LTT video FreeBSD 12 doesn't support the QSFP ports on this SoC, but FreeBSD 13 does.

This does sound as a very very interesting deveolpment for pfSense. However, I’m not a FreeBSD user/follower apart from on my SG-xxxx boxes, so a few questions arise:

1: How big is the difference between 12/Stable and 14/Main in the bits pfSense use/exploit? IE: What will be the most noticable news for pfSense users?

2: Is it a huge leap in additional drivers availability and supported hardware? I’m thinking mainly NICs and especially 4G/5G dongles/hardware support.

3: Is 22.11/2.7’s only focus to change FreeBSD base and PHP build, or will there be other new features/requests included?
