A newbie question

[nima.m]

If i buy one of those lintex router (http://linitx.com/product_info.php?cPath=4&products_id=909)
that has 6 NIC

and say, using Nic 1 for Internet and Nic 2-6 for LAN,
Can I then configure pfsense to have low prioritizing  Nic 2 and  standard prioritizing Nic 3 and high prioritizing Nic 3- 6 ?
Basically QOS based on Network card and not the protocol.

The Traffic shaper supports only 2 Interfaces atm (at least the traffic shaper wizard). There is still work going on with the traffic shaper. This will be possible in the future but no timeframe yet.

Thanks for the response.

Then, Will this scenario be possible :

I have 5 computer connected to my Lintex router trough LAN.
Can I configure pfsense to have low prioritizing  computer 1 based on the "IpNumber/Mac Address" and standard prioritizing computer 2 based on the "IpNumber/Mac Address" and high prioritizing computer 3-6 based on their "IpNumber/Mac Address" ?

Yes this can be done but not so easily with the wizard. You will need to run the wizard then create custom queues and rules. I use this setup on my lan where I give piority and 59% of the bandwidth to a set of computers (me only ;)) and 39% to a few others. However you can't use mac addresses so I had to make use of static arp to assign the ipaddress.
