test_ Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Tested on NIC: 8086:10d3 Intel PRO 1000 Desktop CT 8086:10bc Intel PRO 1000 Server PT (quad port) 8086:1502 Integrated on Gigabyte Q77 8086:1503 Integrated on Gigabyte Z77 G1 Sniper M3 OS: OSX 10.8.2 NIC Kext: e1000e.kext, latest version 2.3.2 There is a PCIe card usable to >=9000 MTU?

test_ Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 To be more precise the driver is unstable over 4060 mtu : With the driver v2.3.2 does not work. With the driver v2.0.0 works but the operation is intermittent and practically unusable. . From the http://olarila.com/kexts/ website appears that the only intel gigabit card with jumbo frames support and the stock Apple driver (com.apple.driver.AppleIntel8254XEthernet v3.1.1b1 or v2.1.3b1) is 8086:105e . 8086:105e is Intel82571EB DUAL PORT PCIe v1.0a http://ark.intel.com/it/products/20720/Intel-82571EB-Gigabit-Ethernet-Controller HP NC360T is an example . I hope that the Apple driver is solid! Next week I'll be able to do a test... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
test_ Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 GOOD NEWSHP NC360T (8086:105e) dual port x4 PCIe v1.0a works with the stock driver AppleIntel8254XEthernet v3.1.1b1 . No modification required, plug and play. (Do not install AppleIntelE1000e kext!)Intel PRO Ethernet Desktop CT (8086:10d3) single port x1 PCIe v1.1 work with the stock driver Intel Intel82574L v2.3.0b4. (This card does not work well on Z68 chipset, no problem on Z77)Modification required :<key>IOPCIMatch</key><string>0x10d38086 0x10f68086</string> The driver works very well. mtu set to 9000 and test ethernet frame size at 8400 byte. No packet drop at 5 ms latency cicle and 33MB/s in / 33MB/s out (=200 audio channel in / 200 audio channel out at 48000Hz 32bit float).I will use the driver supplied as standard by Apple, for the moment I will not use AppleIntelE1000 kext!!! On OSX 10.8.2 Virtual Machine (VMware ESX5.1.0) 8086:100f emulate Intel E1000 interface AppleIntel8254XEthernet driver 8086:10f6 emullate Intel E1000e interface Intel82574L driver No problem! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
