Thanks for that Martin.
As it turns out GBit is something we need so I'd be
interested if Scott has any comment on support of GBit
NICs (Intel or otherwise).

no problem !
I have in use Intel 2-port NICs, namely those:
http://intel.com/network/connectivity/products/pro100dport_adapter.htm
but it also should work with "more-port" NICs based on
Intel Chipsets
(FXP-driver)
Adapters supported by the fxp(4) driver include:
* Intel EtherExpress PRO/10
* Intel InBusiness 10/100
* Intel PRO/100B / EtherExpressPRO/100 B PCI
Adapter
* Intel PRO/100+ Management Adapter
* Intel PRO/100 VE Desktop Adapter
* Intel PRO/100 M Desktop Adapter
* Intel PRO/100 S Desktop, Server and Dual-Port
Server Adapters
* Contec C-NET(PI)-100TX (PC-98)
* NEC PC-9821Ra20, Rv20, Xv13, Xv20 internal
100Base-TX (PC-98)
* NEC PC-9821X-B06 (PC-98)
* Many on-board network interfaces on Intel
motherboards
read it on: http://www.pfsense.com/index.php?id=37
there are also quad Port NICs from Intel but only with
GBit... so I have
no idea how it's supported by FreeBSD...
Perhaps Scott knows how far the support for Intel GBit
is built in
now... ? ;-)

Sorry to bother the list again - Martin; are you able to
post the model
number of the Intel multiport NICs you're using please?
Just to improve
my chances of success.
Thanks again,
Steve

Well, have a look at multiport NIC's.
I've set up my system with 2-port Intel NICs and tried
out 4-port NICs
too...
They work well and pfSense supports up to 32 NICs...
so there should be no problem for you to get it up and
running ! :-)

Hi!
I'm spec'ing up a couple of machines to buy for running
pfSense in a
CARP-cluster model. From reading the tutorial, am I
right in thinking
that this would require a NIC dedicated to the CARP
functionality?
We need to provide a number of subnets so combined with
the CARP NIC I'm
trying to work out how many PCI slots (PC NICs) we need
in each box!
Thanks,
Steve
