Hey guys! I am putting together (as in building myself) a router for "normal" routing but also as a VPN gateway. One of the main reasons for this is that my ISP doesn't supply me with a public IPv4 address and since this is the only one in the town I live in that can actually deliver anything that may be considered broadband access, I am pretty much stuck with them. I want to use pfsense or opnsense and I am currently checking out hardware. Anyways, a friend recommended I get the said 4-port network adapter because it gets the job done and isn't all that expensive (~35 EUR used on ebay). The question just is: Will it work with FreeBSD? As far as I could find out, these cards use a Broadcom BCM5719 chip - which I could not find in the FreeBSD hardware list. The bce(4) driver offers support for several chips that seem to be from the same family at least, like the BCM5709 and BCM5716. The specific chip however is not listed. Now I don't know the other chips that are listed, so it is not unlikely, that they are related (as in them being the single or double port version of the chip I am looking at). Basically: Has anyone got this card working under FreeBSD and can tell me if there are any quirks I should look out for? Best regards, Chris
