I use Intel Dual Port 10/100 Server adaptors with great success. I
wouldn't use any non-server-class NIC in my firewall e.g. RealTek,
Netgear etc. Look at the hardware compatability on the FAQ.

Are you saying that both brands are bad or bad to use in the same

What card would you recommend?

PS My WRAP with PfSense is still rock solid almost a month (I think).

Two were Dells with a mix of Linksys and Netgear NICS.
1 with 128 mb ram and 1 with 256.
Both had 1ghz processors approx..
Other was a generic board with a via chipset, same NICS mentioned and
512 mb
of ram and AMD 1.4 or somewhere close.
I have lots of post about my problems I am sure folks can find.
Lots of help was offered, it was just too hard to wait while it was
going
down constantly on our production network.
We had TONS of issues.
Our setup was and still is this:
LAN > Unused
WAN > T1 Router
Opt1 > Server DMZ Network bridged to the WAN interface
No traffic shaping or anything else really in use.
Hope this helps..

Subject: AW: [pfSense Support] I love my WRAP
Thanks for the info, but pfSense should run fine on other hardware than
WRAPS as well AND it actually DOES run stable on other hardware as
well. The
WRAP is a very fine device, I agree, but if it comes to pushing
larger loads
you need something with more power under the hood (a WRAP does 28+
mbit/s
with maxed out CPU). Can you provide info about the 3 other systems that
caused all these troubles? Maybe someone might find it useful for
avoiding
some components or replacing some parts to get stability?
