--- Comment #25 from Nick Koss <nkoss1992@gmail.com> ---
Hey Folks - Just wanted to cast my stone into the pond regarding this issue.
I'm running OPNsense on FreeBSD 14.2. I have an HP Flex IO i225 NIC install=
ed
in my HP Elitedesk 800 G6 Mini. Current firmware version is 1.57. I am unab=
le
to upgrade the nvm via nvmupdatemanager64 since the firmware is HP propriet=
ary,
with 1.57 being the highest available version from HP.

I run the NIC at 2.5 Gbe. Under load, my speeds will drop down to around
500-600 Mb/s with large amounts of retries in iperf3. I can induce the speed
drop by rapidly starting/stopping iperf transfers.

I've tried everything - tunables, BIOS power settings/ASPM, AIM settings, E=
EE
settings. Nothing has remedied the issue.

I have an identical PC with the same NIC installed, which runs Linux (Proxm=
ox).
The NIC in this machine does not experience any drops. This leads me to bel=
ieve
that the Linux drivers are able to compensate for any NIC hardware/microcode
issues. The firmware of the NIC in the Linux box is also 1.57.

My pciconf output:

class=3D0x020000 rev=3D0x03 hdr=3D0x00 vendor=3D0x8086 device=3D0x15f3 subv=
endor=3D0x103c
subdevice=3D0x87b9

Hopefully as time goes on there may be a takeaway from the Linux driver that
FreeBSD implements. My feeling is that most folks experiencing issues with =
this
NIC have variants that are not OEM Intel.
