Can PFsense run on ONE of these Intel PRO/1000 MT Dual Port Gigabit LAN cards
since it's dual port can one port be used as WAN the other as lan?
-
Yes, it should be used by em driver and it will show up as em0 and em1.

i use two of them in the same machine. it runs flawlessly.
one suggestion though. Get a compatible motherboard and use the onboard nic for WAN. no point wasting a gig nic for a wan connection. Use the rest for lan
-
How do I know if the motherboard is compatible? Is there a list of known motherboards?
-
Here is the HCL. http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.2R/hardware.html

im using gigabyte M61PME-S2P MATX motherboard. Everything is recognised by pfsense and running flawlessly for 10+ months now.

They'll both work just fine. As a rule of thumb, I always disable [in BIOS] anything that I don't use [COM/LPT/FDC/whatever else I can find], just so there are as few things that can cause any conceivable issue.
