      Hey all

      Wondering if the Chelsio T540-BT 4 Port 10GbE Ethernet NIC (4 port 10 gbps) if pfsense ready? I see that FreeBSD 12 likes the following NICS (https://www.freebsd.org/releases/12.0R/hardware/):

      Chelsio T520-SO
      Chelsio T520-BT
      Chelsio T504-BT

      But, obviously I am concerned to buy this card and have FreeBSD puke all over it.

      Anyone with any experience?

      TY!!

        I would expect any of those to work. We fitted the T520-SO-CR ourselves so I know that works.
        They do run hot though so be sure your cooling is sufficient.

        I would choose an Intel NIC if you have a choice.
