      I have tried it with 2.0.1 and its a no go for seeing the NICs…the beauty of this board was it comes with 4 gigabit nics (RTL8111E) on board.  When I do the install it says no interfaces are available.  Has anyone used this board with any success?

        We have one courtesy of Jetway and have done some minimal testing with more to come. It does require 2.1 for the NIC drivers.

              Yeah so it works with Beta, rather well.  I put it in the IstarUSA value D case, but the I/O shield is a no go.. :( other than that, good board.  Still putting it through its paces to see if it does well.  Love 4 GB on board.

                This board seems to tick all the boxes.
                4 X Gigabit on board
                Serial console connection
                Bootable CF slot
                On board DC-DC PSU.

                I'm not sure how you could improve on that. (6X Intel Gb NICs?  ;))

                  How to improve it? Put a real CPU on it for starters :D

                    What power supply are people using with this board?  I get that it's a 12V DC input, but the Jetway specs say nothing about the current draw.

                      Hmm, curious that they don't mention a power rating.  :-
                      However you can safely assume it won't ever draw more than, say, 48W so you'd be good with a 4A power brick. In reality you could probably use a far smaller brick but I would want to test it first to be sure.

                      Ha. Well it's horses for courses here. It's perfect for most SOHO scenarios though.
                      I did think of one thing that would improve it and that's a wide input on the power supply. That way you could use any laptop power brick.

                        cmb: Where do we get the 2.1 version? I do not see it on the mirrors. More important, when will it be released as stable?

                        How about this hardware: KINO-PV-D4253?
                        Will this work with pfsense?

                          Check the 2.1 Snapshot Feedback and Problems -forum for download link. I think the most issues left are with captive portal and possibly some ipv6 related stuff.

                            Would probably work fine but do you really need 5 serial ports?

                              5 serial ports would be overkill. I guess I'll hold off on a new hardware purchase for a while.

                                  I did a build with the 2.1 beta on this motherboard, and had no problem booting from USB and the CF card with a 2GB card and the appropriate image.
