Hi all!
I am planing to set up a new pfSense server with brand new hardware.
The motherboards that I am thinking of have socket LGA1155 or LGA1150
and come with Intel C204 and C222 chipsets, respectively.
The motherboard producer provides a compatibility list for his boards.
He states that the:
- C204 board is compatible with FreeBSD 8.1
- C222 board is compatible with FreeBSD 9.1
I know only very little about FreeBSD, but I think that hardware support
is quite similar with the Linux kernel: what once has been added to the
kernel, stays there "forever", istn't it? So if the vendor writes
"compatible with FreeBSD 8.1" it continues to be compatible with all
following versions, such as FreeBSD 8.3, correct?
If those figures that the hardware producer provided are correct, it
would mean that I could run pfSense 2.1 only on the C204 board, since
pfSense 2.1 is based on FreeBSD 8.3, and the C222 board is only
compatible from FreeBSD 9.1 and upwards, right?!
Since hardware producers tend to not edit and update such compatibility
lists properly, the information provided there could be wrong. For this
reason I would like to double-check. Could maybe someone give me a hint
where I could look up, which chipsets FreeBSD supports and from what
version on?
Best regards
Thinker Rix
