If you're lucky. The pfsense/freebsd drivers for realtek cards are just bad. You may have better luck with the drivers distributed by realtek.

That’s a hard pass then. Any word on pricing? Could be a decent NUC contender?

Yeah my heart rose when I saw "Intel i210" and immediately fell again when I saw the Realtek. Sigh.

Jetway, ASRock industrial and Shuttle seem to have no issues including all-Intel NICs on servers in similar form factors so I'm a little mystified as to the inclusion of a Realtek NIC here in a seemingly industrial system format, I guess ultimately it depends on the price but I know there's a lot of people, myself included, who'll require an awful lot of persuading before they'll chance their arm on a realtek NIC.
