I have been struggling with this for some days now.
I have a e610 xt4 cards and have been able to compile the official driver from Intel, move the .ko file into /boot/modules (like is explained at thread https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=21517.msg101148#msg101148) and gotten the driver to sort of work.
I do see the ports of the card in ifconfig but when I attach a cable to it then ifconfig always shows status as "no carrier".
I named my driver something like if_ix_updated.ko and that is the driver being shown in the output of kldstat. Also at close to the top of dmesg I see a message about not being able to load if_ix.ko since if_ix_updated.ko is already loaded, so seems that my driver takes precedence over the inbuilt driver.
But I am wondering if the Intel driver is causing me problems because the kernel expects the builtin if_ix driver but gets an external one from Intel instead? Does that mean I *have* to recompile the kernel and exclude the if_ix driver from it?
