I’m not saying the device doesn’t exist, since I just tested it.
I’m saying that @burt information is incorrect; you can’t get 10Gbps through IPFire with this device.
@pscar13
so there are some/huge/significant differences when comparing
both outputs. especially the kernel driver for eth0/red0
also some parameters of ethtool 
have you tried to alter these on ipf 
@topic
indeed the data from @burt confuses me also 
Don’t get it. Why are you confused?
I am doing tests to help specialists fix IPFire if possible, but I don’t want to play the sorcerer’s apprentice.

two members tested with bad performance
one member tested with good performance
that is what i resume from this topic ...
so let us see what comes up next
I have in private 3 HV with 10Gbit and a 10Gbit switch. I may use 2 HV for testing this (the one with Windows Server 2022 and HyperV will be one client (because of GUI), the Proxmox will host IPFire) and I will get a Intel 710-DA2 and install that in my last build (Intel 265K) as the other client. I will test it for my own with screenshots etc.
OT: for all that blaming shit in here let me tell you one thing: I dislike you all! 
this is on on IPfire
perhaps try turning that off.
Thank you, but no change
Did you reboot?
I don’t understand what you mean.
Please explain the procedure to follow if updates are necessary: Which commands? Which parameters to modify? In which files?
I think @hvacguy needs to answer that.
I was just asking, because many driver-parameters are only recognized when loading the module, so a reboot may be needed before the change is done.
For a temporary test, you can use “ethtool” like this:
ethtool -K <if-name> hw-tc-offload off
HTH
Thank you.
That’s exactly what I did
Both give almost the same results in the iperf3 tests: 3.6 Gbps when on and 3.8 Gbps when off, but far from 9.5 Gbps.
You give me to much credit.
My linux skills are not that good. 
When you spend over 700 € on equipment and realize the advertised performance isn’t there, you have a right to be dissatisfied, right?
ISPs are increasingly offering 8Gbps plans, and while it’s not yet truly useful for home use, it’s understandable to want to take advantage of it.
But if you have to buy a 5,000 € enterprise firewall to use IPFire, I simply want to warn users not to follow the information provided here.
To validate my statement, here is a test that clearly shows that this MiniPC cannot be used with IPFire at 10Gbps

The iperf3 tests stopped and dropped to 0 after reaching a value of 2940 for the first one (I started it late) and 2990 for the others.
