      Today I have a 2 port realtec network card and I have had stability issues with it. I would like to swap it for a 4 port Intel card.

      What is the best way to do this and not lose all my settings? I'm pretty sure that when I swap the cards, the interfaces aren't going to come back the same.

      Today they are
      re2: wan
      re1: failover
      re0: lan
      vlan20 on re0: guest
      vlan10 on re0: iot

      Do I just have to reassign the interfaces to the new network ports and then everything will come up working?

      I assume I would to the reassignment on the pfsense box with keyboard and monitor?

      thanks
