SYBA Dual 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express PCI-E Network Controller Card 10/100/1000/25000 Mbps RJ45 LAN Adapter Low Profile Bracket, SD-PEX24066

Work as expected with claimed speeds, there good value too

I've testedPfsense - not working no driverOpensense - not working no driversWindows - workingOpenWRT - working out the box.Ubuntu - workingUnraid - working

Seems to work ok, was sceptical it could provide dual ports at full 2.5GbE - but it's on a homelab server and it's two ports for redundancy, so does the job.Not had any issues with it this far (on Proxmox).

Thank

I don't know why this has to cost so much but it works, easy to install and setup.However, if you have or intend to upgrade to windows 11 it will NOT work, and I cannot find an updated driver from manufacturer which is pretty pathetic considering windows 10 is being discontinued !!

It does what is in the description, Dual 2.5 Gigabit works with pfSense perfectly.

This little card uses the Realtek chip set so you can pop it in and generally, it just works.I used it with VMware and it took a few minutes are extra faffing to get it to work the way I wanted but nothing a super intelligent person can’t sort out easily enough.
