List of NIC Hardware for which to turn on or off various hardware acceleration?

« on: February 28, 2012, 01:29:49 pm »

hey all,

In the pfSense setup there are a few check boxes related to hardware acceleration.

Some are disabled by default due to some NIC's having broken implementations. Others are enabled by default.

Is there a list somewhere of which NIC's should have these settings enabled, and which are better to leave them disabled on?

Thanks,
Matt

I'd be also definitely interested in that.

At least a way to determine if a specific NIC behaves correctly or not in these aspects. I turned these on an off, but didn't see any difference.

Reading the man pages for the specific driver might give some clues, for example the Intel em driver:
