Integrated LAN Intel
Ethernet Connection I219-V -
@pmadem The Intel i219-V is reported to work just fine with pfsense, and I'm assuming FreeBSD. But, since it's got only 1 single network port, you're still going to need a smart/managed switch to make this project work.

@akuma1x Thanks Jeff ! I m trying to find a good managed switch . Do you have any recommendations ?
-
@pmadem What's the size of your network, how many WIRED devices?
-
@akuma1x I have around 10 wired devices currently but also would like to have some extra room for some wired devices
Thanks !

@pmadem Ok, here's some quick recommendations:
D-Link Ethernet Switch, 24 Port Gigabit Easy Smart Managed Switch ($128 USD)
https://www.amazon.com/D-Link-24-Port-EasySmart-Ethernet-DGS-1100-24/dp/B004SUO1S0NETGEAR 24-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Switch ($177 USD)
https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-GS724T-400NAS-Lifetime-Protection-GS724Tv4/dp/B00I5W5EGAThere's also some 16-port managed switches, but they are very close in price to the 24-port models. Hope that helps!

I'm correcting myself now and exist an Intel NUC with dual NICs, but it’s just yet to come:

Plus, with the new Intel PHY (2,5 GbE), we’re looking forward to it...
