      Hello guys,
                  I'm really new on this thanks to all.
      I'm trying to build a firewall with PFSENSE 1.2.3 with this configuration.
      I got three NIC and one fiber HBA on a Core2duo with 2Gb RAM and a 250Gb Hard drive.
      I want to build this configuration

      HBA (as WAN)–-------NIC1 (as LAN)
                        |
                          ---------NIC2 (as OPT1)
                        |
                          ---------NIC3 (as OPT2)

      When I boot with PF cd I can install all perfect but when I want to choose Wich NIC Is LAN, WAN, OPT1, OPT2 and etc HBA does not in the list.
      Also If I go to Interfaces->Assing isn't on the list to choose?
      Could you help me or guide me?
      Thank you a lot!
      Pablo

        pfSense 1.2.3 supports everything FreeBSD 7.2 supports.
        Did you take a look at their "supported hardware" liste?

        Can you post the output of dmesg?
        Even if the card isn't supported, there should be a message about it.

        We do what we must, because we can.

          Hi, thanks for answer the qlogic it's on the supported hardware list.
          The dmesg is this

          isp0: <qlogic 2312="" isp="" pci="" fc-al="" adapter="">port 0x1200-0x12ff mem 0xf0d00000-0xf0d00fff irq 21 at device 9.0 on pci7
          firmware_get: failed to load firmware image isp_2300
          isp0: [ITHREAD]
          isp0: Board Type 2312, Chip Revision 0x2, resident F/W Revision 3.1.10
          isab0: <pci-isa bridge="">at device 31.0 on pci0
          isa0: <isa bus="">on isab0</isa></pci-isa></qlogic>

            Looks like you don't have the firmware installed.

            Check the manpage for the isp driver, it appears to have more detailed info.

              Errmmm..

              This is not a Ethernet based card, this is a HBA for Fibre-channel storage attachment, like tapedrives and Diskarrays.

              Not exactly what you are trying to use it for :-)

              Running pfSense on :
              DL380G4 with ESX Vsphere and DL360G4p bare metal
