Here is a thread with good content about NICs:

Network cards that use an Intel chipset, and preferably are also built by Intel, appear to be the most reliable option with OPNSense, and with Linux and BSD in general. In particular, in my experience, only Intel chipsets work correctly with OPNSense in the case of multi-port NICs.

In addition, OPNSense (Linux/BSD) seems to be able to make use of the hardware offload capabilities of Intel chipsets, but not those of many other vendors.

Realtek isn't so bad with the original vendor driver that we have since almost two years. Netmap mode (intrusion detection IPS mode) is emulated, but it's reliable.
