Can anyone tell me if the Intel EXPI9300PT Card is supported ? Looks fine - the 'em' driver should handle it. My question would be why you need GbE interfaces on your pfSense box - are you really going to be pushing more than 100Mbps? It's not impossible (quite to the contrary), but

Hello, I have had a bad experience with that chipset myself. The board doest perform very well even with the driver working correctly ( I had to modify the driver to include the MCP51 ethernet device and recompile). If you have something else, preferably intel, I would suggest using

its not part of FreeBSD 6.2 so I don't see it happening at all until pfSense goes to FreeBSD7 next year like Scott said. also 1.2 has been on feature freeze anyway dues to getting a full release out. There is nothing wrong with compiling your own version of pfSense from the developers ISO with
