It uses Nvidia nForce 220D chipset, which integrates video adapter, audio ( i810 compatible ) and seemingly exotic Ethernet MAC. Did anybody tried to install FreeBSD on such motherboard? With success? How difficult would it be to adapt Linux driver for the MAC ( provided in source by Nvidia ) to FreeBSD? I know, I can get supported NIC for less than $15, but why not to use the stuff which is there?
