      Hi,

      I just booted up 1.2 and i get No Interfaces found.
      It seems there is not a driver for this NIC in pfsense.

      How would i add support for this NIC?

          I downloaded the right source driver from the intel website.

          When i install pfsense 1.2 developers edition and try to "make" the module, i receive the following error:
          /usr/share/mk/bsd.kmod.mk line 12 cant find kernel source tree.

          Not sure what to try next…

            Refer to the FreeBSD handbook on how to cvsup and build the kernel.

              Can someone compile the module for me? Or perhaps the kernel?
              I'm eager to learn but it looks difficult to do.

                Attached - compiled on a generic FreeBSD 6.2 (i386) host but should work fine.  Rename to if_em.ko.bz2, copy it to /boot/kernel/ and add the following to /boot/loader.conf:

                if_em_load="YES"

                You can either reboot, or simply type kldload if_em

                if_em.ko.txt

                  Will that work considering em was already compiled statically into the kernel?

                    Now there's a question, I'm pretty certain it won't.  I suspect that the kernel would have to be rebuilt with the FreeBSD if_em as a module and then this put in place to replace it.

                      I receive a "can not load kernel".
                      Is there a modified kernel available as a download?

                        Not unless somebody makes one.  You're probably best off following sullrich's advice and learning to build your own at this point in time.
