Hi Bill,
How much was the bounty?
Not sure...probably only $50 or so. The thread was removed from the
forum at some point.
I guess I don't understand the problem. Why had the driver got to be
backported for each version? How is pfsense built? Is this a problem
with FreeBSD or with pfsense?
The issue is that the driver I imported was from Intel's website - it
had "issues" although appeared to work...mostly. For whatever reason
(I didn't look), on the last build we did, the patch no longer cleanly
applied and I didn't really have much interest in making it continue
to work. FreeBSD has officially imported this driver into RELENG_6,
however pfSense runs on RELENG_6_1 and there's been significant enough
changes to FreeBSD RELENG_6 that the backport will take some time.
I'm still willing to work on this - outside of pfSense (ie. it won't
make it into 1.0 at this point..we haven't had any official release
candidates with it in) if theres someone willing to pay me something
for the time spent on it (and maintaining it). Else, it'll be in our
next major release when we've upgraded our tree to the latest FreeBSD
builds (don't expect 1.1 to release for 6-12 months as we get HEAD
stable again)
