Those cards were launched between 7-9 years back ago and some of the models are now EoL-ed by Intel, the servers that had them installed are now aged too, that's why they become easily available. (look at http://ark.intel.com/) A more modern I350-T4 uses less power (5 instead of 12W for the PT quad) and has some fancy virtualization features. Other than that - solid and almost-never failing cards. HCL: If it's listed it means a someone reported it was actually working with FreeBSD. Sometimes you can find about it when searching for the network controller on the card. pfSense 2.1.1+ ships with quite recent Intel NIC drivers, even I210 (2013) are supported. -- Mathieu --- Diese E-Mail ist frei von Viren und Malware, denn der avast!
