Gawd, I really wish I could help you on this! This has been a problem for a
while! It's really hard to showcase FreeBSD, or even Linux, on Qlogic stuff if
you can't point the end user at where to buy Fibre Channel or Ultra 3 cards!

Their North American distributor used to be EBV Electronics- that seems to be 
gone. Bell Microelectonics has them, but they don't sell to end users.

I'm seriously considering getting a California Reseller's licence just so I
can buy from Bell- it's a pain to deal with the tax collection, but this is
getting ridiculous.

If there's a lot of interest in FreeBSD-hardware for this, I'll move it up my
list of things to do. I'm getting about 3-4 queries a month on "where to get"
so far.
