      Hi
      I received a NP N40L as a gift. I already have one so I decided to use it as a pfSense server firewall.

      I am wondering for the hardware requirements if it is suitable.
      I will have to buy an extra network card.

      I am also having a second DSL connection installed in a few weeks, so I will be using load balancing and that.
      I am wondering whether I should buy a single, dual or even quad network card for my MicroServer.

      Below is a list of network cards I found supported by the N40L but do they support pfSense.

      INTEL 9301CT Gigabit CT Desktop Adapter
      Intel 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 06)
      Intel® PRO/1000 PT Quad Port Low Profile Server Adapter
      HP NC112T PCIe Gigabit Server Adapter 503746-B21

      Is the standard network card supported by pfSense?
      Has anyone done this before with a N40L?

      Any advice or suggestions are welcome and will be greatly appreciated.
      Thanks
