Hardware and Performance / NIC Intel C3000 SoC 1GbE
« on: November 15, 2017, 07:15:52 pm »
Because of the infamous bug on boards with Intel C2000 we are preparing a replacement. Fortunately we haven't encountered any bricked hardware yet.
For several reasons a better upgrade path is to choose the newer C3000, but I heard some rumors about poor support on PFsense, and I've now confirmed that it seems to affect OPNsense as well. Newer builds of FreeBSD support C3000.
So, we're now in a precarious situation: running OPNsense might get bricked and bought replacement hardware has no support. I can only blame myself for, without any further search, assume that in usual fashion Intel hardware has support.
I long story leads to a short question: is it known when down the pipe OPNsense will support C3000?
