Hello,

I have had a bad experience with that chipset myself. The board doest perform very well even with the driver working correctly ( I had to modify the driver to include the MCP51 ethernet device and recompile). If you have something else, preferably intel, I would suggest using that instead.

Thats my 2 cents.

Hi. I am redoing a bunch of servers to rack amount everything, and I figured it would be good to move my pfsense firewall to a more modern hardware config at the same time I stuffed it into a 2U rackmount case.

My new Since the hardware compatibility list said nforce and my old nforce2 based system worked fine, I went with a new hardware config is an AMD CPU with an Nforce 430 based motherboard with integrated 6150 graphics.

When I tried to load pfsense 1.3 RC3 on it, it failed to detect the onboard interface. Upon closer study, it looks like this interface is supported by the nfe driver, which doesn't appear to be part of pfsense 1.3. I found a reference to a freebsd 6 nve driver here: http://www.f.csce.kyushu-u.ac.jp/~shigeaki/software/freebsd-nfe.html .

Is it possible to get this added to pfsense? These motherboards are quite popular for small firewalls because of the onboard video support.

Thanks
Mike
