      Hello
      I am using an old IBM machine , a P4. It has a pci express  slot left.
      I can get a network card for it but is a little expensive.

      Will pfsense be able to recognize & use the usb ethernet adapters.

      Here is an example on ebay
      http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ethernet-External-USB-to-Lan-RJ45-Network-Card-Adapter-10-100-Mbps-for-Laptop-PC-/310643689889?pt=AU_Components&hash=item4853ce89a1&_uhb=1#ht_2411wt_1139

      I know its not very fast but it will be connecting my laptop directly to the machine for web browsing.
      Is anyone using them.

      Thanks
