I've got a Alix 2d13 from NetGate/PC Engines and it's working good with pfsense. I'm in the middle of swapping out the OS for a Linux distro instead of pfSense due to it's lack of features and hardware support. Need IPv6 and Wireless N support, which those aren't in pfSense yet. Was looking into an embedded gentoo, but switching to buildroot for ease of deployment. Hardware is pretty good, and I'm happy with it.
