I was referring to adding in a PCI, PCI-X or PCI-E network card with a supported chipset. pfSense includes all the network drivers from the FreeBSD version it is tracking. Currently pfSense-1.2.RELEASE uses FreeBSD 6.2 but there is a testing release that is based on 6.3 that I'm seeing referenced more and more to solve some hardware related issues. If the chipset manufacturer has made their own drivers that work for FreeBSD (HIGHLY unlikely) then a custom build would be feasible but a pretty daunting task in of itself. -Sean _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live SkyDrive lets you share files with faraway friends. http://www.windowslive.com/skydrive/overview.html?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_Refresh_skydrive_052008 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
