Hi everyone,

Thanks again for the warm welcome of the 16.7 series! The feedback has been overwhelming, quite positively so. It was partly addressed in to be released code, shall be weaved into the upcoming roadmap or will be further discussed in our forums. Every wee bit counts on our way to 17.1. :)

This release addresses a pressing issue with the Intel e1000 driver in conjunction with IPS mode. For now, a piece of code that went into FreeBSD 10.3 has been reverted to bring back stability, but we are working with the author on a more permanent solution.

Here are the full patch notes:


Stay safe,
