I would normally agree, but the PC in question would be a cheap ITX type unit anyway, as I would rather not have 2 devices plugged in wasting power when I could just have 1. This would be for a home www connection anyway, so no real shame if it did blow up. The details of the card seem to say it is seen by the host system as a Realtek 10/100 Network Port (RTL8100CL) and the card does the hard work. So I guess the real question is... Does pfSense support the RTL8100CL Nic ? - -- Gavin Spurgeon.
