Intel Ethernet I219-V Support in 2.3
-
Does anyone know if 2.3 will support the Intel i219V gigabit controller? Saw some other posts where folks managed to compile the FreeBSD driver for 2.2.6.
-
Saw in this thread, https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=106845.0, where the next version of FreeBSD will contain this support. Assume it's in the 10.3 release, so should be good to go once 2.3 and 10.3 hit.
-
2.3 runs/follows the 10.3 beta builds. If it got committed upstream then it could/should be in there
-
2.3 already has what will become 10.3-RELEASE, does it not work there already?
-
No, it does not currently work with the latest build of 2.3. I see in the link below the driver has been updated, just can't tell which version of FreeBSD it will go in.
-
I asked here: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=106845.msg595253#msg595253
Driver 7.6.1 is already in freebsd 10.3 beta2 but not in pfsense yet, at least I think that it is in beta 2

Heres the freebsd commit: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/commit/9accef3f0f76cde9f02a5d55f391aa02355ddc2b

last update of relevant files on pfsense repo is >=21 days. the freebsd commit is from 12d ago.
-
Exactly.
No support until they merge …

That link is for HEAD, not stable/10. The changes we have are the latest ones from stable/10. To compare properly, look at the same trees:
FreeBSD (stable/10):
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/tree/stable/10/sys/dev/e1000/pfSense (devel, which tracks stable/10 currently):
https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src/tree/devel/sys/dev/e1000/Doesn't look like that commit was MFCd back to stable/10, and it this point it is unlikely it will.

Thanks Jimp!
Well you clarified some things to me :)
Well we can always compile own kernel :)
-
Jimp if you don`t mind…
What means MFC? :)And their HEAD is like pfsenses master?
Thanks!
-

Merge From Current (typically to -STABLE).
And their HEAD is like pfsenses master?
No, our master is currently following -STABLE (what will become FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE).
-
Ahhh so from head to stable.
Got it, thanks man!
-
still trying to make this happen in FreeBSD 10.3 (so automatic in pfSense 2.3)
-
That would be great :)
I`m just planning on changing 2 boxes :)

New "soon to be" pfsense user here :)
Just installed Untangle 12 and managed to get my i219-V up and running on it after some voodoo and a lot of coffee just to discover that I totally do not like Untangle.
Any clue if I can easily compile and install e1000e in pfsense?
pfsense can see my i211 just fine.
Latest version from Intel is 3.3.3 which is working in Untangle.

seems it made it to "stable" or am i overlooking something ? so if nothing comes up, it'll be there on the next round of imports
-
Ou yeah :)
-
Seem like IPfire 2.17 92 (not FreeBSD) already has Intel i219-V support.
Tested and works great until pfsense adds support.

Linux and Windows drivers are more common and BSD not really, and on top this NIC is
pretty new, so I think in the near future this NICs might be also supported under FreeBSD.

o The em(4) and igb(4) drivers have been updated to version 7.6.1 and
2.5.3 respectively. Among others, this brought support for i219/
i219(2)/ i219(3) hardware found with Skylake generation and newer
chipsets as well as an IPv6 workaround for a silicon erratum of 1G
server products driven by igb(4). Additionally, the DMA and TSO
segment handling of these two drivers has been fixed and cleaned up.

renato imported the patches 20 minutes ago. if everything goes smooth, they should be in the next snapshot

It is working perfectly for me!
Thank you for the awesome work.
