Inline/Bypass ethernet NIC for FreeBSD

[Affan Basalamah]

Hi all,

I just curious about the availability of inline/bypass ethernet NIC
for FreeBSD. Maybe my google search skill is low, but I cannot find
any information about that.

The only thing that comes to me is this URL from Intel
(http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/pro1000_quad_bypass_server_adapters.htm),
which I know by just looking at it, that thing won't come in cheap
price.

I just want to use it as a NIC for my firewall, to eliminate the
possibilities of traffic went down when the firewall is unable to
operate.

Thank you,

Regards,
