        The Marvell chip is actually an Intel i354 and will work fine.  The i210 comes and goes between builds and I've no idea if it works at the moment.

        I can break anything.

            2.2 beta is getting more mature every day.

            Doesn't look good for 2.1: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=66804.0

              That is a very old thread and the issues discussed there no longer exist.

                So they added i210 support to pfSense 8.3 and it's thus now supported in pfSense 2.1.5?

                  Support for newer Intel chips was added in 2.1.1 or 2.1.2, I can't remember, but there have been several issues with i210 NICs since that point which do not impact other newer chips like the i354.  As mentioned earlier, I do not know whether or not the i210 CURRENTLY works.
