Does Pfsense Support Intel 82580 NIC?

It's not on the this list supported hardware, so i assume that pfsense doesn't support that nic

Support for the 82580 was added to the igb(4) driver in Nov 2010:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/e1000/if_igb.c#rev1.61
So it missed FreeBSD 8.1 (pfSense 2.0.x) but will be in 8.3 and hence pfSense 2.1.
Try one of the snapshots (for testing only!).

THX,stephenw10. Where can I download the snapshot of Pfsense? And Which version of the snapshot support the 82580?

Snapshots are here:
http://snapshots.pfsense.org/ (currently seems to be down for me :-)
In fact though the Intel NIC drivers in 2.0.1 are backported from newer versions of FreeBSD for this exact reason. There's a good chance it would be supported in 2.0.1. (Edit: Looks like it isn't)
