      Hello, I'm setting up an installation on a brand new PC and I bought 4 identical PCI-E network adapters Repotec RP-3200EX (I think they are based on the Realtek RTL8168 chipset).  But when I start pfSense all of them are not listed under the "Valid interfaces are:" and I can't use them.

      What can I do about it?
      Should I buy other network adapters with other chipsets and which one is working in plug-and-play for sure?

            That was a bad choice, you can get high quality Intel nics from ebay at very good prices, even quad ports.

              It's not such a bad choice, it was a cheap choice.

              Just to report - the PCI version of the same network card (RP-3200R) is running flawlessly with pfSense 2.2.2. The problem seems to be related to the PCI-E in some way.
