Title: Announcement: Better to postpone 21.7 upgrade if you have igb(4) ethernet

Dear Sensei users,

It looks like igb(4) in netmap mode is mangling with the ahci(4) driver. Therefore, if you're using igb(4) ethernet, we advise you to postpone 21.7 upgrades for a while once we confirm everything is 100% ok.

We'll keep you posted.

UPDATE Jul 29, 6:49pm PT:
We've come across this problem on a system where Sensei and/or Suricata was not installed (thus no netmap). Looked like a similar problem: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=23867.msg115304#msg115304 (https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=23867.msg115304#msg115304); the same ahci-related error was present. We're in touch with the OPNsense team, and will post when we have further updates.

OPNsense team released 21.7.1 today. We've been able to verify that this release solves outstanding issues related to the igb driver.

All systems go for an upgrade :)
