      I have a custom built pfsense box, and now, I want to upgrade to 10gb for the LAN, and I'm now looking for a 10gb network adapter that would be plug-and-play with pfsense. I would like to add one card with 4 ports, but a 2 port would work if nothing with 4 ports is compatible or above $100 (used).

      So, my question: is there any compatible nic I should be looking that will work out of the box with pfsense?

        I would be looking for something Intel X5xx based. Checkout this list of equivalent OEM parts:
