This was discussed on the list last year. [pfSense] 4 port ethernet card -- STARTECH ST1000SPEX42 -- any good https://lists.pfsense.org/pipermail/list/2013-June/004291.html You'd want to check the FreeBSD 9 HCL for an answer, but... According to the specs, that card uses 4 x Realtek RTL8111E and a PLX PEX8608. The PEX8608 is a standard PCIe switch, which should appear as a generic pcibb(4) device. However, there are conflicting reports on whether the RTL8111E works in all circumstances. Search the forum for more details, but I would not assume this card will work. Also take a look at http://www.glitchwrks.com/2012/08/03/Quad-Port-PCI-Ethernet-Roundup/ for more information on quad-port cards in pfsense. -Adam That GlitchWrks page is a bit dated, but it lists many 4-port cards available in 2012 and discusses them WRT pfSense: Quad Port Gigabit PCI Ethernet Card Roundup Topic: Evaluating quad port gigabit Ethernet cards for use in a pfSense box Date: 03 Aug 2012 -- Angus Scott-Fleming GeoApps, Tucson, Arizona 1-520-895-3270 / 1-520-290-5038 Security Blog: http://geoapps.com/
