      I have the latest beta release installed (full install) on a 4gb memory stick on my old HP laptop (dv8000) with and on board Intel Pro/100 VE Nic already detected. I bought an express card 33mm Ethernet adapter with the Realtek 8111 chip set which should be supported with this release. Is there anything I need to do so I can get it to see that NIC? I would prefer to get this working vs. buying a vlan capable switch.

      Thanks,

      J

        60+ views and no one knows? Bummer. May have to invest in a vlan switch.

          Which BETA release are you talking about: 2.0.3 or 2.1?

          Where are you looking to see if pfSense "sees" the NIC?

          Please reboot with the express card plugged in and the post the output of pfSense shell commands```
          dmesg ; pciconf -l -v

            Somewhat of a noob from the command line. How would I copy that output and post it here?

              ssh to the pfSense box, login as admin, select option 8 (shell command) paste the command into the ssh window and copy and paste the command and its output into a reply to this topic OR see http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Executing_command_line_commands_using_the_web_interface
