p.s. I believe that in theory Intel and manufacturers using their e1000 chips were supposed to be turning this off. p.p.s. I don't think there's any equivalent of "ethtool -e eth0" for freebsd, so you can't run that script directly on pfsense/freebsd. If there were, you'd get this: # ethtool -e eth5 Offset Values ------ ------ 0x0000 00 e0 81 4b 53 b7 30 0b 47 f6 02 10 ff ff ff ff 0x0010 ff ff ff ff 6b 22 91 51 f1 10 8b 10 86 80 df ac 0x0020 21 00 02 20 04 7e 00 00 00 10 d8 00 00 00 00 27 0x0030 c9 6c 50 31 22 07 0b 04 84 09 00 00 00 c0 07 06 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
