If you're going to pay for a PMCIA or USB, you might want to look at small home
routers that can be flashed to run linux -- like the linksys wrt-54g.
It already has several ports and has most of the features you'd want like QOS
and graphing.

The machine I'm testing out the firewall distros is an old laptop with just 1
ethernet port. My only options to up the number of lan ports are via USB and
PCMCIA.

Unfortunately, I haven't tried using the CDRKing NICS. Our box is pretty much
online 24/7 so we decided to use only 3Com and DLink NICs.

To those who use pfSense, do you have any experience on which CD-R King USB or
PCMCIA LAN is supported by the freeBSD kernel? I'm checking it out the latest
beta version and comparing it with the other Linux-based fw distro. So far it
doesn't support the Davicom DV9601-based USB LAN stick of CD-R King out of the
box. FreeBSD supports it but I would need to compile a new kernel for pfSense
to achieve this. But maybe one here knows if there is at least one that is
supported by the stock kernel in pfSense
