Description

Intel X710 T-2L/T-4L devices were supported on pfSense 2.4.5-P1, however a regression from FreeBSD 12 onwards meant support for these devices was lost.

I filed a bug report with FreeBSD in August and the necessary commits to fix the issue seemed to have been committed in FreeBSD on Sept 4, 2020.

The latest pfSense 2.5.0 builds do not have these changes and it would be nice if we could get support back for the X710-T2L/T4L devices. Currently we need to manually compile the drivers from Intel's site to get the cards working.

Here is the link to the bug report at FreeBSD's site and their response:

I did a fresh install with the latest build (Oct 3) and the X710-T2L is detected and the 2.5 Gbps and 5 Gbps Eth modes are also working. So it seems the fixes have been absorbed from FreeBSD.

Please mark this issue as resolved. Thanks!
