do anything now.This isn't possible with packages. Package dependencies are "set in stone" once the package has been created.Ideally, the installer should ask whether linux compat is wanted and perhaps supply a list of apps that require it
I don't feel this is giving the issue justice.You mean the em driver? 3 cards in use (Pro1000PT & i217), seem to function just fine by default.. I am using more recent FreeBSD tho (12-STABLE/13-CURRENT).
If you say so. But I am not using any custom tweaks or anything either. Just OTB FreeBSD in a home server and firewall. Not pfSense or OPNSense or FreeNAS or anything. For meI don't feel this is giving the issue justice.
When the iflib conversion happened they also merged em and igb interfaces.
Many custom tweaks made over the years were lost on both interfaces.
They have not been restored and the quality of Intel gigabit driver has defiantly taken a hit.
I don't like to hash out bad news but this is a real issue.
Go look at all the recent Intel interface bugs on bugtracker.
em performs worse than igb (latency wise) in 12?

seems to work. I haven't tested it, haven't felt the need or reason. Just have to take your word about the changes in code and possible problems. Thanks for pointing it out for me.The driver that is in 12.0 uses the iflib framework, which makes it impossible to port 3.3.6 into BASE.
Ah, sorry, SirD, I didn't really express myself at all well. What I was (incoherently) complaining about is the inclusion in the package of an enormous amount of code, including linux, that has nothing at all to do with driver functionality.This isn't possible with packages. Package dependencies are "set in stone" once the package has been created.
You are mistaken. There is no rule linux64.ko for 64 bit FreeBSD. We are talking about running Linux binaries on FreeBSD with the help of a Linux binary compatibility layer( handbook, linux(4)).To the OP of this thread. Everyone is leading you astray.
You need 64 bit Linix module on FreeBSD 64 bit versions.
kldload linux64
Then install your nvidia package.
