I installed pfSense on my old PC "hp Compaq 5008 mt" and i added "TP-Link ethernet Slot" to it .
and now i have to interfaces in my computer and when i try to assign interface it start to go in loop !

Kindly read/post the exact error you get on the horrible IMG_2380.JPG screenshot. (Looks like you are trying to assign the same interface twice.)

P.S. Why are you installing 2.1.5 in the first place?

Sorry my mistake i meant 2.2.2

and i have only two interfaces so why keep showing me to insert interface names ?

That's just the way it is.  If you only have 2 interfaces, stop assigning them after you've done the second one.

…. and stop assigning them means that after this question:

Enter the Optinal 1 interface name or 'a' for auto-dectection

you do not enter an interface name 're0' that you already entered for your WAN interface (your first assignment !), you just type 'enter'.
You neither type 'a' you just type 'enter'.
If you have two (2) interfaces, you assign the first, the WAN - after that, the LAN.
Then you stop.

You'll see, everything works as advertised  :)

OK, this is a serious and confirmed PEBKAC.  ::)
