It's just performance usually.

Ok, so I guess that the OS has to work harder with a fxp than with a bge because it must process the VLAN tagging instead of the NIC.

Ok, thanks for the info :).

Hi,

        I'm wondering about the difference between using, for example, a fxp
NIC (intel) compared to a bge NIC for VLANs.

fxp supports long frames, while bge supports VLANs natively.  What is
the difference?  VLAN is managed by the NIC for the bge and by the OS
with an fxp?

I've set up 2 vlan-enabled pfsense recently, one with bge and one with
fxp and they both work well...

Regards,

Ugo
