OPNsense 22.1.4 - Performance issue on Intel NIC's.

[wmeter]

I'm relatively sure that I'm not the only one that applied the following fine-tuning to my set-up to improve Intel I210-AT NIC performance on APU boards.

The last upgrade contained apparently new Intel drivers. Performance on all Intel nic's was severely impacted and I needed to revert all changes proposed in the article from Teklager back to the original values / remove before I had a normal working system again. If you have performance issue's it's worth having a look at System -> Settings -> Tunables and remove / adapt non-standard settings there.

I understand the kernel has changed since the teklager article was written and some of the tunables are no longer available/switchable.

I have an APU4 with i211AT NICs and the upgrade to 22.1.4_1 has resulted in malfunctioning box, with only partial connectivity to some websites after restoring the configuration.  Trying to check if there were any other updates available just hangs with the box unable to connect to the opnsense server. 

On reboot I saw some segfaults flying by on the console, so I knew something is amiss with this firmware release.  I reinstalled 22.1.2 and everything is back to normal.

Is your APU working normally with 22.1.4_1?
