      @stephenw10 I had a compile error with e1000_ich8lan.c. There were some indentations that threw errors. I think I have those resolved and am trying shortly.

      The ZFS think I mentioned is something different and probably just me doing something dumb. The script we are running using shellcmd would not run anymore from the /cf/conf directory. It worked on my non-ZFS 22.01 install but not my ZFS 22.01 install. I didn't do any troubleshooting after moving to /root/ solved it. Sorry for the confusion!

        Hmm, curious. I wouldn't have expected any difference between those locations. Unless it was an older ZFS install maybe? The default mount structure was changed at one time.

          @stephenw10 also, dumb question.

          Considering the shortcut from if_igb.ko to if_em.ko will this work in my loader.conf.local?

          if_em_load="YES"
          if_em_name="/boot/modules/if_em.ko"
          

          Or will the shortcut cause the system to load the original em module for igb and I need something like below?

          if_em_load="YES"
          if_em_name="/boot/modules/if_em.ko"
          if_igb_load="YES"
          if_igb_name="/boot/modules/if_em.ko"

            It would just fail to load since there is file: /boot/modules/if_em.ko

            The original modules are in /boot/kernel. If you don't set the name variable it will load those since they are in the default path. But you don't need or want to load those since they are in the kernel already.

                @stephenw10 The merged driver does not work for me. Same issue as stock install. The NIC's themselves work but my previous VLAN0 issue still occurs. EAP authentication passes and my other interfaces on the same card work without issue.

                I am by no means an expert so I may have messed something up but when I run kldstat it clearly shows the custom if_em.ko driver/module loaded.

                This is the source I used for the if_em.ko module was https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/15187/intel-network-adapter-gigabit-base-driver-for-freebsd.html

                  Hmm, I wonder if it attached. Check:

                  sysctl dev.igb.0
                  

                  The in kernel driver shows as:

                  dev.igb.0.iflib.driver_version: 7.6.1-k

                      Came here to say that dumb switch method still works in 2.6.0 with igb driver. I’m using the wpa_supplicant method. Good luck to people who use ngeth… Hopefully it will resolve soon.

                        Could you share your way so I can get rid of ngeth

                          @netnerdy the stock igb driver or the custom one? Thanks!

                            @nedyah700 Bummer. I tried you solution, but it didn't work on my system.

                            I reviewed your script which is significantly different from mine. I don't have anything about wpa_supplicant.

                            My system has been working great for many years and I'm foggy on the details of how I made it all work :/

                              @nedyah700 yes it is stock igb.

                              If you want to get rid of ngeth, you need something that strips the vlan 0 from the network packets. This could be running pfsense under esxi and use a virtual network adapter set to “vlan 0” or plug a switch between your ONT and your pfsense, which is what I do.

                                You are correct. Despite showing loaded in kldstat it did not attach.

                                With my compiled igb module I don't get any of the iflib lines but with both the stock and compiled em module I still get

                                dev.igb.5.iflib.driver_version: 7.6.1-k
                                

                                I can try to re-compile?

                                  Mmm, hard to say since it's em not igb.... doesn't override the in-kernel igb....which is actually just em. 😵

                                  But it's not iflib so I would imagine it isn't affected by the same issue. I'm not sure it's worth the effort.

                                  We know this is an issue with the e1000 driver in 22.01/2.6 and netgraph/VLAN0.

                                    ha! Yea I thought about that and tried just naming it if_igb.ko but that had the same result so who knows.

                                    Anyways, hope the fix makes it in a future release. Appreciate it!

                                      @stephenw10 just an FYI someone else used the combined em driver for an em based NIC and it resolved the issue for them.

                                        are there any updates on this one? is there a chance the newer driver could make it into 2.6.1?

                                          Not as the default since it's a non-iflib driver. What was tested here at least.

                                          If the alternative Intel driver was available via ports if could be made available potentially.

                                          The 'correct' solution here is to fix whatever broke netgraph support in the iflib driver. If that hasn't already happened.

                                            I believe a fix for the iflib driver is available. Tracked in this Redmine regression. https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/12821?next_issue_id=12820

                                            Hope we can get that incorporated into the next release!
