Do you have any PCI or PCIe slots or a VLAN capable NIC and switch?

My atom dont have any PCI slot , only a lower profile slot but malaysia dont really have this kind of low profile card available :o
Currently gadget i have is
1 ATOM box , 1 USB WIFI doogle , 1 Wifi router (DLink -615) , 1 Aztech DSL modem. -
And is the NIC VLAN capable? If so you can make 2.0 work with that (and a VLAN capable switch). If you don't know please provide details of the motherboard.
If not then it doesn't make an appropriate firewall.

Hi,
if you have enough USB ports, you could try this adapter:
http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=133I tried one with 2.0beta5 and it worked. For a home solution it should be enough.
-
Just be aware that there have been many reports that USB network interfaces are unstable and unreliable.

Is it this motherboard?
In which case you have a pci-e x1 slot. There are many cards that would fit.Steve

Yes, this is the motherboard and there is 1 slot only available , a low profile smaller PCI-E i can't find it at malaysia IT market wonder anyplace can get a small low profile ?

Try Ebay. You are probably stuck on getting a Single GBe NIC and having to use VLANs with an appropriate switch.
The RB250GS is a good choice for the switch. Check in on Lowyat forums to find out more details on the configuration since a lot of TM UniFi users use it for connecting their own routers along with the IPTV STB.For the NIC, I'd recommend getting the Intel PT Gigabit adapter.

most of the intel NIC's have a low profile option
look for this :
Intel PRO/1000 PT Server Adapter Low Profile -

True indeed, maybe i rather get this RB250GS switch and run it
ADSL-> Pfsense -> RB250GS -> Workstations/ laptop , but how about connecting through wifi such as iphone /Acryan ?
