      Hi, I saw this article the other day about connectivity issues with the Intel I225/I226 chipset, which the Netgate 6100 uses for it's 2.5G ports. Is the Netgate 6100 impacted by this issue? What action do users need to take? Thanks

        The 6100 and 4100 use the i225-v Rev3 (B3) NIC chips which are not affected by that. I've never seen that sort of connection issue in any of the testing I've done.

        [23.01-RELEASE][root@4100.stevew.lan]/root: pciconf -lv igc0
        igc0@pci0:4:0:0:	class=0x020000 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x8086 device=0x15f3 subvendor=0x8086 subdevice=0x0000
            vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
            device     = 'Ethernet Controller I225-V'
            class      = network
            subclass   = ethernet
