## Description

This PCI Express controller with Base-T copper networking interface, provides compact, single-port integrated multi-gigabit (up to 2.5G) - MDI (Copper) standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet interface for 2500BASE-T, 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 10BASE-TE connections (IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab). The Intel Ethernet Controller I225 is designed for use on any mobile, desktop, workstation, value-server, or industrial designs that have critical space constraints. Also supports the latest time sensitive networking (TSN) features, along with best in class power management and Operating System Support

Review: Is revision 03, but be wary of Linux/BSD use - Edit: as of XigmaNAS 13.1.0.5.9725 this adapter is now recognized and works as-expected! Thanks to ms49434 and zoon01 for applying a kernel patch to accept the PHY that is present. Original review follows. The adapter arrived in a small, cardboard box. The heatsink is attached securely. A hardware check indicates that the chip is revision 03. Under Windows 10/11, the adapter is usable with no additional effort or configuration on the user's side. Under Linux/FreeBSD, the adapter may or may not work depending on the version of the driver used to attempt init. Under FreeBSD specifically, support for the I225 was added in 13.1 via 𝚒𝚐𝚌, however the driver performs an unnecessary PHY vendor ID check, which may fail if the adapter reports an ID that isn't listed in an internal table. The fix (recommended by Intel themselves) is to no longer perform this check and instead assume a PHY for all I225 adapters. This fix is available in FreeBSD 13.2 and/or 14, and would need to be backported if using anything earlier. Examples; TrueNAS Scale 22.12.0 supports this adapter, while XigmaNAS 13.1.0.5.9687 (latest as of this review) includes 𝚒𝚐𝚌, but fails to init with the adapter I received.
Review: Installed in a QNAP NAS- works - I installed this in my old QNAP TS-563 expansion slot. I had to change to the low profile header, and then bend the header flat because QNAP decided to use a flat header. I will duct tape the header to the chassis. But the good news is that it works at 2.5G. Price of this was $17 and change, the QNAP one is $70. I will deal with the duct tape. Edit 6 months later - still working great

## Features

- The Intel Ethernet Connection I225 includes advanced interrupt-handling features to reduce CPU overhead. Other performance-enhancing features include offloading TCP/UDP (for both IPv4 and IPv6) checksum calculations and performing TCP segmentation. Other performance-enhancing features include offloading TCP/UDP (for both IPv4 and IPv6) checksum calculations and performing TCP segmentation.
- Advanced features such as Jumbo Frame support for extra-large packets and Receive Side Scaling (RSS) are also supported. Additionally, I225 builds on prior controller solutions to add Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) features including IEEE 802.1Qbu, 802.3br, 802.1Qbv, 802.1AS-REV, 802.1p/Q, and 802.1Qav on select operating systems. These features support advanced time critical, and synchronized applications prevalent in audio/video, embedded, and industrial applications.
- Advanced interrupt-handling features manage multiple interrupts simultaneously. Combining interrupt-handling features with intelligent filtering, ordering, and directing packets to specific queues and cores, enables load-balancing network traffic flows to improve throughput in multi-core platforms.
- Other performance-enhancing features include IPv4 and IPv6 checksum offload, TCP/UDP checksum offload, extended Tx descriptors for more offload capabilities, up to 256 KB TCP segmentation (TSO v2), 40 KB packet buffer size, and 9.5 KB Jumbo Frame support.
- What You Get: IO Crest 2.5 Gigabit PCI-E Network Card x1, Driver Disk x1, 8cm Low-profile Bracket x1. Backed by Syba 3 Year Hassle-free Warranty and Lifetime Customer Service. Important Note: Only work with PCI-E slot, Not for PCI Slot.

### ⭐ Doesn’t work
*by A***R on January 10, 2025*

I can’t get any machine I own to recognize this device. It’s not a driver problem - the UEFI firmware just doesn’t even recognize there’s a device plugged in. I’ve tried messing with PCIe settings in the firmware, but no luck. The activity lights on the back of the card do come on, but that’s the extent of the activity I’ve seen from this card.
