        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!).

              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)
