Mini PCI-e gigabit for pfsense
-
Gang,
I have repurposed a laptop and its running as my pfsense router, doing a great job. Just upgraded my internet service and now the 100mb PCMCIA NIC is my bottleneck… Wondering which of these two pci-e adapters would work with pfsense:

Links left cold because I don't know how the mods feel about linking to a reseller, so apologies.
I think both use the Realtek chipset, which I know is not ideal, but.....
Thanks.

You could use something like this:

which uses the Intel 82583V which seems to work well with FreeBSD.
