You can buy multi-port Intel ethernet cards cheap on eBay. But a used one and drop it into your computer. If you stick to Intel you should have a better time with driver support under OPNsense, and it would enable you to have separate ports for VLANs if you wanted to get fancy.
thanks! so for example: Intel Gigabit Dual PORT GIGABIT ETHERNET PCIe NIC Card EXPI9402PT NC360T which is CA$30. Does that sound right?
Yes, that kind of thing. I can't guarantee it will work but I've had good luck with Intel cards in the past. You can get 4-port ones too.
just to check my understanding: a 4 port card provides different capability than a 1 or 2 port card with a switch attached, yes?
