Hardware and Performance / Re: i226 nic supported?

« on: October 23, 2022, 12:27:17 am »

Hi Der Saarländer,

power consumption I don't know at the moment, as I've not measured it.
Maybe I do it in the next days, but I don't care too much about it.

I've the Intel N5105 which is more than enough for my case. (Single-flat doing constant home-office and have only limited devices (~6) in LAN & WLAN.
(Honestly I don't think the N6005 is so much better, even it's newer. It costs more and consumes more power for just a bit more performance.
(see posts here https://www.servethehome.com/).
But as said, I've only a very small network.

RAM (8GB) and SSD (NVMe 128GB) I had spare ones. However any way, I'd never took the chinese / aliexpress ones, as they're too weak. lot of videos and forum posts confirmed that. And here in Germany / Europe those things are not that expensive any more
If you want exact figures I can get them, just let me know and send a DM.

Kind Regards

Hi,

i can confirm the i226-v NICs are supported with the latest OPNsense version 22.7.
I've ordered this Topton device 15 days ago and received it yesterday.
https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005004687321549.html?spm=a2g0o.order_detail.0.0.18816368dwlfSV&gatewayAdapt=glo2deu

Ordered it without any RAM and NVMe as I had both at my home and I guess the ones from Topton are not that reliable.
OPNsense has been installed directly, so no HyperVisor or similar.

I can't verify if it's 2.5 GB as I have only 1GB network at the moment.

AND the manufacturer of the NIC is shown as "Shenzhen Ferex Electrical Co.,Ltd".
So not sure if that's really an Intel NIC?!

Kind Regards
