And to say that I have been pleased with it would be an understatement. I have been using pfSense now for many years, since I migrated from DD-WRT. So it is notable when I encounter something where that isn’t the case. Especially common, well supported things like network cards. These days if I plug things into my computer - any of them - I expect them to “just work.” And very often, surprisingly, this is the case.

These are all parts of the “bad old days” of computers that I don’t miss very much. Remember when you used to have to use jumpers to set things on your computer? Or worrying about IRQ conflicts? Or whether you could get the the drivers you needed to work? In the year 2021 there are a lot of things that you just take for granted.
