Title: Hardware offloading for Intel I211 NICs work?
Post by: avvid on December 15, 2016, 08:51:17 pm

Hi everyone.    The FW hardware I'm running has onboard Intel I211 NICs.   Been googling to try to find out if they support the offloading we can enable (CRC, TSO, LRO, VLAN).  Any source where we can find compatibility with OPNSense and various NICs?

Thanks

wouldn't you check and see if FreeBSD 10.3 has this support? I think its more of an OS than application thing.

As far I could see is that i211 will be support by igb driver in FB 11. This will mean also in upcoming opnsense 17, which is built upon FB11:

Yes, that looks the case.

Thanks!
