Hi Mikrotik!

When will mikrotik adding support for this network devices, Intel i217LM & Intel i210AT ? ( support at mikrotik was absolutely no cooperative! )

Intel provide all compillable open driver for linux platform, the method is very simple...so dear mikrotik, can you make a loadable kernel module for this network interfaces???

We are using mikrotik for a long long time, we payed a tonns of money for mikrotik products, mikrotik hardware, routeros x86 licenses, etc...but we have non-stop problems on new x86 network hardware with mikrotik routeros because of no driver situation!

We need to using powerfull x86 systems beacuse the "strongest" mikrotik hardware is useless in hard networking situtations, including a "bad joke CCR-s", which is indeed useless because of non-multithreaded bgp daemon, etc.. Especially core routing ( BGP,OSPF,MPLS) and many other case we have to switch from mikrotik to freebsd with openospfd+openbgpd combo, beacuse of non present drivers and non present multithreaded network daemons.

By the way, some days ago we bought some supermicro 1u servers, instead of "bad joke CCR-s", and we sadly recognised mikrotik has NO DRIVER AGAIN for a very popular and standard network interfaces as described above! So what can we did? Inserted a fresh freebsd installer to the usb socket and WOW, all ethernet interfaces working with standard freebsd installation! We want to use mikrotik routeros but on this way is very very hard...

So dear mikrotik, you'd better you thinking a bit about above described things...we are thinking now a full platform changeing from mikrotik to other solution.

I hope this post will not be a deleted censored post....I know, the truth could be painfully.

I asked for i210 support as well - I will keep you updated.
I see that linux supports these card well.
There is a good chance it will be easy for them to add support.

Thanks for the infos!

Any news from Mikrotik ?

Not yet

Deep silence here...

I am guessing it will be in RoS 7.0 which should include a new kernel.
