Ethernet adapter with RTL8111F chipset works on pfSense?
-
They have a bad reputation for just stopping passing traffic and for requiring more CPU than other NICs. A lot of that is from the earlier versions. You may have no problems.

@stephenw10 Do you know a better option with two 1Gb ports connected in a mini pci express port for 50€ ?
I didn't find a better option. -

Hi, I'm chiming in :-) I dont know where you are located and if this is a option for you:
-
@fireodo Yes, can be. But i prefer the other one because i will use the board in a notebook and the other one has a cable to outside the notebook.
And needs to be mini pcie otherwise i will need an adapter. -

You're welcome

Mmm, you can get Intel mPCIe boards but not <50€.
You might consider just not using an old notebook at all. They often seem like a good idea but they are not engineered to be always on.

@stephenw10 Ok, i will think about it.
Thanks
