        None of those NICs will work with pfSense 2.1 unless you use a newer version of the igb driver (which will then break traffic shaping).  My suggestion would be to wait for 2.2 if you want that hardware, or install vSphere on the box and run pfSense as a VM.

        I can break anything.

          We already know that 2.2 works without issue.

          The traffic shaping (altq) issue is being worked.

            Any updates on this?
            Does anyone know if there's actually a C2350 board I can buy right now? Looks like it's still AVAILABLE SOON since October 2013.

              With C2358, Atom box can finally reach 900Mbps throughput (CPU @100%). Due to igb driver issue, it'll kernel panic within an hour.

                  Lanner is selling a turn-key box and SuperMicro has Mini-ITX boards but, again, unless you're running vSphere on it you can't use it for pfSense until 2.2.  The updated driver in 2.1.1 was pulled for stability issues.

                  EDIT:  … and now the driver is back.

                    I was looking for a fanless solution. That board looks like it has a fan, though I'm not sure about this. Also: where the hell can I, as a consumer, not as a reseller, actually buy one of these? I just can't find any online shop that sells them. It looks like US customers will have a chance on buying these kind of appliances before we (Europe) do. I'd appreciate it if someone could recommend a good US based online shop that also ships to Europe.

                    Can't find any (re-)sellers either.

                      Yes, I believe the driver will be in 2.1.1 (which is not yet released).  I "believe" this because I'm making sure it happens (Ermal did the fix.)  :)

                        Netgate ships to Europe.  By extension the pfSense Store will also ship to Europe.  The C2K series products aren't >quite< here yet, because, unlike your random board shop, we don't ship things until the software works on them.

                        (I'm just saying.)

                            Just out of curiosity, did you keep track of cpu utilization during those tests?

                              Whenever I've done similar tests I've just run top in a separate SSH session. That may introduce some additional overhead but I couldn't detect it. If the test is long enough you can just check the cpu usage graphs afterwards.

                              Edit: Of course since the firewall under test is not sending or receiving the test traffic you can just run top on the console.  ::)

                              These new Atom chips look very promising.

                                Not really.  It wasn't at 100%.

                                We pushed data at it from the 10G test network today, only unidirectional udp traffic, but that's the tough case.
                                Still didn't fall over.

                                When the 2.2 snapshots servers are back on-line, we'll test 2.2.
