There isn't any support as far as I've found... If you hear of any
driver for *BSD for the card let me know. Right now the only option
for this card is Linux.
When the card first came out Bus Logic wouldn't release the specs
without a non disclosure agreement so the *BSD's skipped the card.
Dandelion Digital did a Linux driver for it via reverse engineering
and later with the assistance of Bus Logic -- so there's the Linux
option.
I've got two of these cards and would love a *BSD driver for them.
