Just wanted to thank those of you who replied. Finally got the card noticed in pFsense. Had to use the add hardware feature on the VM. Now the problem is getting it to route traffic. I am able to ping the two ports from the pfsense diag menu but am not able to ping outside the network. I did create a rule to pass all traffic but still nothing. Is there something special I need to do to get the two new ports to work? Also is there a way to have the dhcp range the same as the lan so that it works like a consumer of the shelf router? Basically additional ports in the same net range.

[pfSense] Adding Ethernetports There's also the unofficial VMware ESXi white-box HCL, but it hasn't really been updated since v4.x. Agreed that if this is anything more than a test system, stick with the HCL and a support contract. Been there, done that, have the scars to prove it ...

    I have had mixed results trying to find support for hardware that
    is not on the vmWare HCL and often spend way too much time hunting
    for solutions.  You are *much* better off sticking with officially
    supported hardware.

    That being said, This link *may* have the drivers that you are
    looking for ...

    Should probably take this to one of the vmware support groups.

    Yes VM. I do not see the card listed there either. I do not
    understand VM and all the plugs and drivers. Can you point me in
    the right direction?

    Your pfSense is running on a VM ... correct?

    Does vmware recognize the nic?  I know some versions of esx need
    custom drivers for even some intel NIC's.

    I added a dual port nic to my pfsense box and it doesn't show the

    The new nic doesn't show anywhere. I am using a PowerEdge 2850
    and an
    Intel Card. I am also using vmware on the machine.

    Any ideas what may be going on?
