| For pfsense 2.x

Look carefully, the usb ethernet section is split into more than one placement, it's listed by driver, not by type of hardware.

I used a CP Technologies CP-USB-RJ45M on my Alix board. It used a Realtek RTL8150 chip.
It was slow, just over 5mbit max probably due to the USB1.1 interface on the Alix. |

I had a USB 2.0 ALIX adapter when I first started using pfsense - would lose connection all the time. If there is any way to use PCI or PCIe Intel boards that would be my suggestion! |

I agree with this and since its Linux I would suggest Intel NICs, Other brands have support too but I have never had an issue with an Intel NIC and Linux

Winston Salem, NC | It's actually built on FreeBSD 8.3 (if you use the newest version of pfSense) - not Linux  |
