I've been using Intel for years and they are great; however, I am
building a new router and got all Chelsio cards (recommended on
various tuning posts).
If you just need 2 port copper, get a supermicro board with 10Gbps
built into the motherboard.
Search for "chelsio freebsd tuning" and just "chelsio freebsd"

Hi,
I need to use a 10 Gbps, 2 port NIC (copper RJ-45) with FreeBSD 11.3R
amd64. Which NIC (manufacturer and model) would you recommend as the
most trouble-free and reliable?
Maybe some Intel?

Hi,
my best observations on OPNsense (HardenedBSD) were Mellanox ConnectX-3
cards (and up). Reasonable price and best performance.
I didn't choose X710 as they had incredible problems on linux in the
beginning. Seems most is fixed with Firmware 6.X.
X520 has best compatibility, but a LAGG with LACP only gives 13Gbit, so
if you want to bundle better choose mlnx.
I have some Chelsio 580 cards with 40G which work great, but you need
fresh hardware with good cooling. With my old lab servers NICs were
silently torn down because of heating.
This is no adivse .. only my private observations :)
Best,
Michael
