I don't on my FreeBSD hosts and haven't had any problems, but I think it depends on the drivers you have installed. On all my production servers I use standalone Intel NICs w/ the Intel drives; pfSense may be using something else depending on the configuration. FWIW, pfSense has been basically stock FreeBSD + software/skin for the past couple of years.

While we try to move things upstream as much as possible, there are still patches in pfSense that don't make sense for FreeBSD.

TSO and routing/forwarding (and thus filtering) are incompatible.


yep, use Intel e1000e NICs for freeBSD on VMware hosts.
