        wget is a command line tool for downloading files from the web.

          ohh great, hhhhh the friendly GUI make us not interesting in command line,
          but the command line method remain the most strong way of configuration
          ok, so i can for example load the driver by using command line mode in pfsense ??

            If you can find the driver, yes.

              ah, i see, this need some research on how to write the right script for doing so
              is pfsense use the same syntax as linux ??? or it has specific syntax

                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
