        I installed pfSense 1.2.1-TESTING-SNAPSHOT
        built on Thu Jul 24 23:13:20 EDT 2008 on my home firewall today.

        It is working great. I have tested the following:
        NAT  (AON)
        Rules
        DHCP
        OpenVPN point to point
        PPTP
        DNS Forwarder
        Wireless (Linksys wusb54g) ural0

        My wireless is setup as an Access Point with WPA2 PSK.

        I'm not going back to pfSense 1.2 from here on out its 1.2.1 or higher. I'm convinced pfSense 1.2.1 is ready for its first Release Candidate.

        pfSense running on FreeBSD7 is so exciting. I plan to do a lot of testing on the wireless.

                We implemented an "emergency" pfsense system last night in our data center.
                Version: Built on Mon Aug 25 23:17:47 EDT 2008
                CARP works with a pci-express d-link 560T card (was not detected in 1.2)
                Servers are HP DL320 G4

                Only using Snort package at the moment. pfsense pretty much saved the day.

                Now we have 3 connections handled by pfsense (2 office, 1 datacenter)

                  We've got one cluster running fine on Dell PE1950 with quad ports pci-e Intel pro1000VT cards (not recognized in 1.2).

                      Upgraded from 1.2 to 1.2.1 and had no issues.  So far no issues all IPSEC tunnels up and working and will continue testing.  Great product keep up the good work.

                        Might be a dead post, but for what it's worth,

                        Dell Optiplex 733mhz
                        256 MB RAM
                        3 random NIC's (including a battered Intel hunk from a bargain bin)

                        Currently works fine as a student firewall and DHCP server for a ~100 person user base. The clarity of pfsense has allowed me to easily identify underlying reliability issues with the network which are currently being fixed. Reliability has not been an issue so far either in testing or implementation, though we'll see how it handles a more complex, multi-LAN/WAN setup next month (not on battered hardware, by the by).
