      good day guys.

      I am using the latest version 2.3.2 of pfsense in my asus H81m-d board with 8 gig memory and intel i5 processor.

      Right now I am using the onboard and tplink pci-e lan card.

      I want to change my NIC to intel pcie cards but I do not know what particular intel server NIC model is the best because Intel models here are not purchase locally and I have no experience with intel NIC here.

      So may I ask for your suggestion on which Intel server model NIC should I buy.  Please kindly suggest me a model so I can look it up on google and try to compare them so I can decide.

      Thanks in advance.  I will be waiting for your suggestions guys.

        I would check what is compatible with BSD.  This is a good habit for a process of procuring parts.  Don't leave anything to chance.

        I personally went with some OEM rebrand old stuff.  Every time I try to score something relatively new on the cheap it ends up being bad for me.

        Did you really check your cables?
