A Realtek Realtek 8139 (100Mbps) or a Realtek 8169 (1000Mbps) card works without any further hassle with the buildin drivers of pfSense.
Do you see the Realtek 8169 during the setup or when you choose to assign networkinterfaces ?
During this setup, you choose which card you like to use for your WAN and LAN.Grtz

If you have an available port get an Intel card and forget about Reals**t.

They work allright but I wouldn't use them on anything but a small home router/firewall.

do you have any minipci slots?
