Its not actually Linux its freebsd but pfsense is a great firewall. I have been using a cluster of these in production for a few years now and never had a problem.

pfSense is indeed a great firewall, I've been using it for a little under a year now.
However, because pfSense is based on FreeBSD there is no support for 802.11n and since I would like to use an Atheros based wifi-card in master mode with 802.11n I am looking for a Linux based alternative.

Google already showed lots of alternatives, but I haven't been able to find anything that is (more or less) identical to pfSense. With identical I'm referring to the features (using add-on packages for example) and the way it can be configured. pfSense's webinterface is really easy to use, things are easy to find and that's how I like it.
