It was added to 20.7.https://github.com/opnsense/changelog/blob/master/doc/20.7/20.7.r1#L47
Hi Falk, can you please share info about your system and configuration?
Hm, this is a quite old CPU. Maybe the jump from FreeBSD 11 to 12 respects more recent CPUs (Just a guess)

Why is it so "hard" to move back from 20.7 (FreeBSD 12 based) to 20.1 (FreeBSD 11 based)? The OPNSense (update and download) mirrors use a completely different path for this. Having more trouble to revert back from 21 to 20 would at least be kind of more understandable for me (e.g. minor vs. major versions)...Yes I find the way OPNsense manage their releases messy. But what is worse is that it's not even clear on the wiki on which HardenedBSD versions all the different OPNsense releases are based on. Add to that the HardenedBSD website which is really bad -- this doesn't help to understand what is going on.Thats not true, in release notes it's stated they updated to HBSD 12.1.It's like downgrading Win10 to Win8, no matter at which time of the year this happens.

As one of the users who was seeing wan performance degradations with 20.7 I have resolved those problems. The primary problem every minute or a change of promiscuous mode for the Ethernet NICs was resolved by a clean install of 20.7. My second performance issue turned out to be due to SFP+ module (transceiver) that was degrading performance. With those problems resolved I am able to sustain download speeds through OPNSense of 1.2 Gbit (Gigabit cable service provisioned at 1.2 Gb). I do not have IDS/IPS configured at this time.
Looking at Intel network (em/igb) adapters specifically.... would someone with the issue try this kernel?# opnsense-update -kr 20.7.1-nopromisc# opnsense-shell rebootThanks,Franco
