PfSense on ESXi 6.0?

Do you have 10gig nics? Are you seeing slower network performance? Yes the old native drivers use to say 10g for the speed.. I show only autoselect with the native freebsd driver.

So I fired up a clean vm, 2.2.1 and install the native vmware tools.. They are broke.. I can get ping to pass through wan and lan if using vmx3f0 and vmx3f1 as my lan. But nothing else. I have e1000 up as well for lan to allow me to get to the vm and play with stuff.

What I can tell you is with the native tools it shows 10g nics vs autoselect ;) And if you look at the hardware

I am wondering if start turning off some of that advanced stuff like VLAN_HWTSO if that will make a difference? drive seems to load and can ping it, but nothing else works?</performnud,accept_rtadv,auto_linklocal></rxcsum,txcsum,vlan_mtu,vlan_hwtagging,jumbo_mtu,vlan_hwcsum,tso4,tso6,vlan_hwtso></up,broadcast,running,simplex,multicast></full-duplex></performnud,auto_linklocal></vlan_mtu,vlan_hwtagging,vlan_hwcsum></up,broadcast,running,simplex,multicast>

Yeah saw that, thanks turning off the txcsum and rxcsum seems to fix the problem..
