Troubles with Intel NIC in pfSense 1.2 and 1.2.1
-
The Intel 945G datasheet shows the internal graphics adapter OR external graphics in PCI-E x16 slot. It also says there are two SDVO (Serial Digital Video Out) ports multiplexed with upper eight lanes of the PCI Express graphics interface. I guess the SDVO ports is the electrical difference between a PCI-E x16 slot and a PCI Express Graphics slot. Section 10.4.3 of the datasheet discusses simultaneous operation of the of the PCI Express X16 port and the internal graphics which suggests the situation is not quite as simple as suggested by the quote in an earlier reply. It also adds:
BIOS control of simultaneous operation is needed to ensure the PCI Express is configured appropriately.
I wonder if ASUS saw fit to include the necessary BIOS control.

I have a D-Link DFE-570TX 4-port 10/100 and have had no problems using it so far. Funny because both are actually using using Intel.

It may be a little late for the original poster but the topic http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,11485.0.html also includes a pointer to a page describing a 4 port PCI Gigabit card for US$99,. The NICs are supported in FreeBSD and one poster reports satisfactory performance.

Yup, that's me. My 2 yrs old VT-6122 based NIC's running FBSD7.0 flawlessly. It was only less than $30. The following link should help
you much.http://www.rasyid.net/2008/08/17/detect-rb44gv-on-freebsd-7/
