    @tirsojrp:

    The problem with these boards is always the same, PRICE$.

    … don't forget lots of headers and ports for accessories that are never made and the fact that no one ever makes a case it will fit into.

    I confirm that the driver is correctly loaded in 2.1BETA.
    We do intend to switch to 2.1BETA very soon.

    Thanks for all your help.

    It's almost certainly easier to format the disk from pfSense directly. I don't think there is any convenient way of writing UFS from Windows. This might help: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Local_Disk_Storage_on_Embedded_%28soekris%29

    I just read the manual for the device.  You need to go to page 12 of the manual where it talks about connecting it to another router.  You'll also have three LAN ports you can use on it, so it can be a hub also so you wouldn't necessarily need the extra NIC.

    Set up the d-link dir-655 wireless WPA security and password and there's no additional configuration required in pfSense.  All of the configuration is on the d-link dir-655 side.

    one thing that comes to mind: did you by any chance set WEP encryption for that interface?

    Hi,

    I would suggest the HP ProCurve Switch V1810-8G v2.
    I have 3 of them for my home setup, they work very well.

    The average price in Swiss is CHF 80.-

    @apfusertoo:

    I am really hoping for a non-anecdotal, authoritative "THIS is the card we all know is THE ONE" but if I cannot get that, I will try this one.

    There are some reasons why this is not possble now and probably won't be possible for some years:
    1. Some suppliers change the chipsets used in their cards without changing the model number. In such a case one particular revision of the card might use a supported chipset while another revision might use an unsupported chipset.
    2. Some chipset suppliers don't provide open access to programming data for their chipsets making it very difficult to write open source device drivers.
    3. The FreeBSD kernel developer community seems considerably smaller than the linux kernel developer community so there are fewer people to write new device drivers or port device drivers from other open source operating systems.

    yup.. just wanted to give Atom a chance but haven't seen many real life feedbacks on its performance. I guess I have to stick with i3 for now.

    My main reason for Atom was because its fanless and silent. I could add a fanless heatsink to the i3 but it may overheat on heavy network activity.

    @ecube:

    Looks like it has this thing: Cavium CN5010 whatever that is.  Could be RISC, which would be bad.

    Seems to be a MIPS-processor. Bad luck there.

    I was the one who tried to get Pfsense onto a Netgear Prosecure STM150 with bad results. I have not given up yet, but Netgear clearly dont have that flexible hardware as other manufacturers.

    There are no good options for hosting files on the pfSense box. If you search the forum you'll see this is a common question that usually receives the same answers:
    It is possible to do it but it's very much not recommended. It reduces security and it probably wouldn't survive a firmware update.
    It you want a single box solution for firewall and media servers by far the best way is to run both pfSense and nas4free, or whatever, virtualised.

    the daughtercard uses "standard" 82574L's, I'd be curious about the jetway bus they're connected to and if it's actually capable of 4Gbps.

    @Jason:

    @tirsojrp:

    Check page 5 of this doc: http://cache-www.intel.com/cd/00/00/46/78/467819_467819.pdf

    Even Intel don't have an straight answer about non-ecc or i5/i7 CPU.

    edit:
    Asus CPU support list

    Looks pretty clear to me. They say that the i5/i7 doesn't support ECC.

    My mistake, I should have said: …an straight answer about non-ecc or i5/i7 CPU support on C204. As stated in page 5 ”Not Supported” configurations may still boot

    Yeah I enquired with their sales people and you need to order 27 units with the 4x front nics as its special order. Wont be needing 27 pfsense boxes for this project :P

    I need a working connection for the next week, so I just bought an huawei e372.

    After that, only for knowledge purpose, I' d like to know if it is possible to use the onda mdc655 with pfsense.
    Tomorrow, at work, I'll send you the log.
    Thanks in advance.

    No, nothing special, it is detected without any problem… I just booted from a pendrive with the "pfSense-memstick-2.0.1-RELEASE-amd64.img" written on it  ;)
