Hello,
We have been provided with an embedded appliance that includes the
latest EP80579 (Tolapai) and the default tests we have made showed that
the processor is not recognized yet by default kernel. Do you know if
there is any plan to add this proc to the list of supported HW ?
Not currently, looking from the sources that Intel provides with regards
to this platform it is not in a format that is easily added to our build
system.
The FreeBSD patch they have is just for PCI id additions, but all the
other drivers are standalone modules that need to be built.
How and when will pfSense allow support for this hardware?
It really looks promising.
Not until a lot of Hardware makes it into the Next FreeBSD release.
For 1.2 this is ofcourse not under discussion at all. 2.0 is based on
FreeBSD 8 which might be a lot easier.
The pfSense project does not have the resources to maintain a special
build for this board at this point in time.
I think we can safely assume that all the required bits will eventually
make it into FreeBSD at some point.
Regards,
Seth
