Does that controller work for us?

Anybody know such a thing and if it may work with FreeBSD (amd64)?


I currently have a bunch of network connectors (for telephony etc) on PCI-X64 cards (which works in any PCI), but current boards don't have PCI anymore, so if this one works, it would be a cheap replacement just to be on the safe side.
From the mailinglists I don't get a real clue, they seem to consider it fiber, but here the description says RJ45, which would be copper (I certainly don't want fiber).
 
Yes I have a few of those working on FreeBSD.
The PT series is getting kind of old.
I just bought some of these for cheap:
Quad Intel i350 NIC

I wanted 6 ports for a new virt box and found these to work well with bhyve.
 
Got now a few of them. (People seem to throw them away now as 10G is available.)
But there are differences:
Code:
em3@pci0:4:0:1: class=0x020000 card=0x11bc108e chip=0x10bc8086 rev=0x06 hdr=0x00
    cap 01[c8] = powerspec 2  supports D0 D3  current D0
    cap 05[d0] = MSI supports 1 message, 64 bit enabled with 1 message
    cap 10[e0] = PCI-Express 1 endpoint max data 256(256) NS
                 link x4(x4) speed 2.5(2.5) ASPM disabled(L0s)
    ecap 0001[100] = AER 1 0 fatal 1 non-fatal 0 corrected
    ecap 0003[140] = Serial 1 001517ffffdc84ca
This is the 82571 (mfd dec09), and it is a hottie (needs air moving). Didn't find a way to switch off unused ports.

Code:
igb1@pci0:2:0:1:        class=0x020000 card=0xa04c8086 chip=0x10c98086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    cap 01[40] = powerspec 3  supports D0 D3  current D0
    cap 05[50] = MSI supports 1 message, 64 bit, vector masks 
    cap 11[70] = MSI-X supports 10 messages, enabled
                 Table in map 0x1c[0x0], PBA in map 0x1c[0x2000]
    cap 10[a0] = PCI-Express 2 endpoint max data 128(512) FLR NS
                 link x4(x4) speed 2.5(2.5) ASPM disabled(L0s/L1)
    ecap 0001[100] = AER 1 0 fatal 0 non-fatal 1 corrected
    ecap 0003[140] = Serial 1 90e2baffff7e80ac
    ecap 000e[150] = ARI 1
    ecap 0010[160] = SR-IOV 1 IOV disabled, Memory Space disabled, ARI disabled
                     0 VFs configured out of 8 supported
                     First VF RID Offset 0x0180, VF RID Stride 0x0002
                     VF Device ID 0x10ca
                     Page Sizes: 4096 (enabled), 8192, 65536, 262144, 1048576, 4194304
This is an 82576 (no mfd stamp on it), it is only 2-way, but definitely much more cool.

Then there is also 82580, and finally i350 (the newest, would cost more than 1€).
