      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

                      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 :)

                            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).

                                  still trying to make this happen in FreeBSD 10.3 (so automatic in pfSense 2.3)

                                      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.

                                      pfsense: 2.3.2

                                        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

                                            Seem like IPfire 2.17 92 (not FreeBSD) already has Intel i219-V support.
                                            Tested and works great until pfsense adds support.

                                            pfsense: 2.3.2
