I am building another firewall/NATD box from spare parts. So far I have an AMD K6 233 MMX with 32 MB of Ram, 18 GB of disk space, FreeBSD 3.2 Stable and a Graphics Blaster Extreme 4 BM PCI Graphics card. I am now down to actually having to buy some parts :(, the network cards. I understand the 'You get what you pay for' theory but this box is not going to be on some corporate network just my network at home. The cards I am looking at are the D-Link DFE-530 TX cards. I plan on buying 2 of them for this particulay box. Does anyone know of any issues when using these cards? The last IPFW/NATD box I built used the Intel Pro 100 cards (fxp0), and they work very well, but I am not willing to lay out that kind of cash for cards in this box that will be mostly used for NATD on my private network. I noticed on the Hardware list from the FreeBSD site that the D-Link 530 cards are supported and there is no mention about them being un-reliable so I am thinking that there is no problem with these cards but I wanted to get some opinions from the list about these cards..
