Re: AW: [pfSense Support] Intel® PRO/1000 P T compatibility

[Mark Wass]

Thanks for your reply. I was aware of that list which is why I asked the question. I'm not sure how much I trust Intels document stating that it works with FreeBSD 4.x and later, I hope it does, but this could be a misprint. Would be good to here from anyone who is using the  Intel® PRO/1000 PT based on the Intel® 82571EB Gigabit Controller Thanks Mark Holger Bauer wrote: In the list below are the Intel Chipsets that should work, taken from http://pfsense.com/index.php?id=37 , which is basically the hardwaresupportlist of freebsd6. I don't know if anybody is using this card with pfsense and as you see it is not listed there. However, as it is supported by freebsd 4.xchances should be pretty good that it is supported by 6 as well and in the doc you send with your mail it reads freebsd 4.x or LATER. So I would guess it SHOULD work ;-)   Holger The em(4) driver supports Gigabit Ethernet adapters based on the Intel 82540, 82541ER, 82541PI, 82542, 82543, 82544, 82545, 82546, 82546EB, 82546GB, 82547 and 82573 controller chips: * Intel PRO/1000 CT Network Connection (82547) * Intel PRO/1000 F Server Adapter (82543) * Intel PRO/1000 Gigabit Server Adapter (82542) * Intel PRO/1000 GT Desktop Adapter (82541PI) * Intel PRO/1000 MF Dual Port Server Adapter (82546) * Intel PRO/1000 MF Server Adapter (82545) * Intel PRO/1000 MF Server Adapter (LX) (82545) * Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop Adapter (82540) * Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop Adapter (82541) * Intel PRO/1000 MT Dual Port Server Adapter (82546) * Intel PRO/1000 MT Quad Port Server Adapter (82546EB) * Intel PRO/1000 MT Server Adapter (82545) * Intel PRO/1000 T Desktop Adapter (82544) * Intel PRO/1000 T Server Adapter (82543) * Intel PRO/1000 XF Server Adapter (82544) * Intel PRO/1000 XT Server Adapter (82544) The ixgb(4) driver supports the following cards: * Intel PRO/10GbE LR Server Adapter * Intel PRO/10GbE SR Server Adapter -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Mark Wass [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 2.

This is a PCI Express Network card Below is a link to the product specs. This document says it is compatible with FreeBSD 4.x but I could not find on the FreeBSD web site where it says it is compatible. http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/prodbrf/pro1000_p t_dualport_server_adapter.pdf Can anyone confirm if I can use this card with PFSense? A big thanks for helping! :-) Mark ____________ Virus checked by G DATA AntiVirusKit
