need a dual network card for my computer
-
hello, I want to use an old computer to run pfsense.
I need a recommendation of a cheap dual jack card I can plug into that computer.
thanks, -

Use a model that fits your computer's expansion slot. How are we supposed to know which one is in there?
PCI, PCIe, PCIx, AGP, VL, ... (you said it's an old computer!) -
Find a genuine Intel multi-port card. Exact model depends on your hardware and what it can accept.
Either a working system pull/used card or a new one, but be careful buying on eBay as there are some fake ones out there.

It's also best to make sure that your NIC's chipset is supported by FreeBSD 11.2:

This usually isn't a problem with Intel NICs.

thanks to all,
in the end, I noticed that pfsense sells a card, so I purchased that.
