    5.0 out of 5 stars Is revision 03, but be wary of Linux/BSD use
    Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2023
    Edit: as of XigmaNAS 13.1.0.5.9725 this adapter is now recognized and works as-expected! Thanks to ms49434 and zoon01 for applying a kernel patch to accept the PHY that is present. Original review follows.

    The adapter arrived in a small, cardboard box. The heatsink is attached securely. A hardware check indicates that the chip is revision 03.

    Under Windows 10/11, the adapter is usable with no additional effort or configuration on the user's side.

    Under Linux/FreeBSD, the adapter may or may not work depending on the version of the driver used to attempt init. Under FreeBSD specifically, support for the I225 was added in 13.1 via 𝚒𝚐𝚌, however the driver performs an unnecessary PHY vendor ID check, which may fail if the adapter reports an ID that isn't listed in an internal table.

    The fix (recommended by Intel themselves) is to no longer perform this check and instead assume a PHY for all I225 adapters. This fix is available in FreeBSD 13.2 and/or 14, and would need to be backported if using anything earlier.

    Examples; TrueNAS Scale 22.12.0 supports this adapter, while XigmaNAS 13.1.0.5.9687 (latest as of this review) includes 𝚒𝚐𝚌, but fails to init with the adapter I received.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Works great with Bell Fibe 8gbps GigaHub service
    Reviewed in Canada on January 7, 2024
    I recently, upgraded my internet to the 8gbps service, so I installed this card into the PCI slot normally used for your second video card (it needs a high-bandwidth) channel, does not work in the smaller PCIe slots, like I have with my usb 3.0 card and my rs232 card in, and bang right away I was getting the full 8gbps speed.

    It is strange as it comes with mini-cd with the drivers on it, and no hints of where to get the drivers online, but lucky I have a dvd player that accepted it and it worked.
