Does Sophos XG 19 Home Edition support Intel i225v 2.5G chipset now?

ken Mills

HI there,

I seem to be finding competing information about this online.

I am looking to purchase hardware for a new router, using Sophos XG 19 Home Edition.

I'm looking at a device with 4 2.5Gg ports.  It has an Intel Celeron J4125 2,0 GHz-2,70 GHz CPU, 8GB RAM, 128 mSATA SSD, and most importantly 4 x Intel i225v network ports.

Is the i225v 2.5G chipset now supported in XG 19 Home Edition?

If not, what 2.5G chipset is supported? 

Thanks in advance for your time and advice!

Ken

    For those wondering about network adapter support in Sophos Firewall, take a look at the Linux Kernel Driver Database (LKDDb). As of version 19.5 build 197 Sophos Firewall is running kernel 4.14.277 according to uname -a on the advanced shell. Browsing the CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_* tree on LKDDb will show when a particular network adapter first received kernel support. All you have to do is go to the specific vendor (e.g. CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_INTEL), note the device ID and then hit ctrl-f and search for it on the page.

    For Intel's i225 adapters (I225-LM, I225-V) support started with kernel 4.20.

    For another common 2.5 GbE adapter, Realtek's RTL8125, support started with kernel 5.3.

    So the two most common integrated 2.5 GbE adapters are out until Sophos Firewall gets a kernel upgrade. Here's hoping that version 20 gets a nice bump and a corresponding expansion in network adapter support.
