      I'd go with Intel over Realtek if at all possible. In all likelihood you won't see much difference unless they are pushed hard.

        so im bringing this thread back to life after some down time.

        the daughter card was sent in and returned but still no luck. I ran "pciconf -lv" and still only have the one ethernet port appearing. Only thing i can think of now is that the mobo in the actual computer is still messed up. Im going to email the company again and see what they say.

          This sort of flakiness is exactly why I don't use Jetway products any more.  When they work they're great but they don't exactly have a reputation for reliability…

          I can break anything.

            The company asked me to try installing Windows 7 and still nothing. This also defeats the purpose of the box as I don't want it running Windows then vmware and then pfsense in that. Has any one had luck with this box or recommend a different one from the ones provided by this company; http://www.mitxpc.com .
            I was going to use this for my whole network but I'll take a box that has only two nics as I need it to vpn my torrenting.

              If it's not showing up in the POST it doesn't matter what OS you boot. The daughter board simply isn't connected correctly.

                Tried explaining that to the sales rep but apparently that's too hard for them to comprehend that.

                    I just bought exactly the same unit for my home with an intel daughtercard.  Working great.  Perhaps they should replace the main unit.  Seating the card required some care and some force.

                    DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

                      i just took the card out and put it back in one more time before going through with the return, but no luke. I also asked if they would test my next unit if i send them pfsense on a usb.

                        Is there anything in the bios about enabling or disabling that PCI "slot"?  Any of the pins get bent or anything?
