Atom or Pentium?

It seems it's working, both DEV release and x64 standard release.

Now, I've got problem with usb cd-rom, so I can't install pfSense yet, but I'll get the S-ATA one, so I'll report back with the news…

I've accidently installed amd64 release instead of DEV i386, but from what I've seen, DEV release is also working (it didn't stuck at the em driver).
So, thx cmb!

I already put the machine in the rack, so I'm a little bit lazy to try DEV i386, but it should work :-)

Interesting. Just to confirm you seem to be saying the X64 release of 2.0.1 has drivers that support your card but the i386 version does not?

Yes, that's correct.

Hmm, well that's odd but well worth knowing. Thanks :)

To be specific, I'm talking about Intel 82579LM integrated NIC.

Just finished building my system
Mobo - Intel S1200KP
Cpu - Intel I3-2120T
Cooler - Silverstone NT07
Memory - Corsair Vengence (2x4GB) DDR3 Low Power (white modules)
Hard Drive - Intel 20GB SLC SSD
Case - Mini Box M350
Power Supply - Mini Box PicoPsu-150-XT
Pfsense 4GB AMD64 embedded

The only header cables that do reach are the power (no LED or front USB to short). Runs super cool and absolutely no noise, just about dead silent.
My only issue is at idle the cpu is between 10-13 % all the time any ideas. The software loaded no problems and detected both nics with no issues. ;D

From the console run:

top -SH

What is using cpu cycles?
Make sure you don't have the webgui open when you run it.

A reboot seemed to clear up the issue. :D
