      Would like to make sure Pfsense 2.1 beta supports the following Intel chipsets.

      • CPU Type: Intel Core 2 Duo SL9400(1.86 GHz)

      • Chipset: Intel GS45

      • Graphics Card: Intel GMA 4500MHD

      I plan on downsizing my EliteBook from a 8530p 15" to a 2530p 12" which uses low voltage components.

      HP EliteBook 2530p Laptop - Core2 Duo SL9600 @ 2.13Ghz - 4 GB Ram -128GB SSD
      Atheros Mini PCI-E as Access Point (AR5BXB63H/AR5007EG/AR2425)
      Single Ethernet Port - VLAN
      Cisco SG300 10-port Gigabit Managed Switch
      Cisco DPC3008 Cable Modem  30/4 Mbps
      Pfsense 2.1-RELEASE (amd64)
      –------------------------------------------------------------
      Total Network Power Consumption - 29 Watts

        Was unsure if Pfsense supported Intel's low voltage components.

        • Removed HP's Bios wireless card whitelist….

        • Installed Atheros Mini PCI-E (AR5BXB63H/AR5007EG/AR2425) to be used as Access Point.

        • Installed 2.1 Beta1 snapshot on HP Elitebook 2530p Laptop

        No problems ….. all functioning perfectly.
