      Dear Community,

      I would like to install pFsence onto an old PC i have here but i have installed 2 cards into my PC and pFsence is only seeing one of them and not the other so i can not compleate the pFsence install.

      Is there any hardware out there that i know is supported so i can go ahead and buy what is supported.

      Warmest Regards
      Dean

              Intel is the most recommend brand. Support is good and stable and performance is best in class. Some other NICs work well also, but really there's not much reason to get anything other than Intel.

              What part do you have and what's its PCI id (pciconf -lv at the console, copy the info from the device that hasn't been claimed by a driver).
