Adam,

 

This may sound strange, but you might want to load linux and vmware
server on the machine, and run pfSense virtualized until the hardware
support comes for your NICs. We run pfSense virtualized on Dell PE1800s,
PE2900s, and PE2950 servers all the time.

Hi Sean,

 

Sorry didn't put this in the message below, the Braodcom (NetXtreme
BCM5722) is actually the embedded NIC so I can't replace :(

 

Is my only option a custom build (if I can find the FreeBSD drivers for
it)?

 

Cheers

 

Adam

If the hardware is not on the supported hardware list, they will NOT
work with pfSense. You will have to get another NIC for the server.
