The GS108T-200 is the one with a web-based config tool Worth adding that you can pick up the HP 1700-8 for less than £60 these days, now that it's been superceded by the 1810-x series switches. Fairly intuitive web interface and talks SNMP too. Admittedly not gigabit, but as a multi-WAN VLAN

Ever since upgrading to pfsense 2.1 I have been let down by it. It looks like there are multiple issues and I am trying to separate them. One is system suicide by memory gobbling - but it's been a little tricky to find out why exactly. It's a system with 512MB RAM, 768M swap. Mobo Ethernet, Intel
