        No. It's not related to Linux. BSD is its own OS family.

            Might be easier to test out something else. Have you looked at SmoothWall?

              Easiest thing to do would be to buy an add on card that is compatible and forget about the built in NIC.

                              I'm just curious. How did you convert the driver over for pfsense? I am having a heck of a time getting they Optiplex 3020 Internal nic to work with pfsense.

                              I've tried ndisgen and attempted iconv on pfsense but I've had zero luck. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

                                    You will have the best luck with Intel based nics on BSD/Pfsense

                                      I don't believe that he did. In this case, if I read what he wrote correctly, he solved the issue by buying a third party NIC to use instead. Likely an Intel card, they are the most popular now and not expensive.

                                        @scottalanmiller Unfortunately i have already used the slot open for another NIC(intel).

                                          You might be stuck then. pfSense isn't really viable on that hardware. What about Smoothwall or VyOS?
