I noticed that the supported hardware document does not list support for
the 3Com Megahertz 10/100 ethernet card.  The model number for this card
is 3CXFE575CT (or ...BT for the dongle version.)  Is anyone planning to
support this PCMCIA ethernet adapter?  I have also read that OpenBSD 2.7
does support this adapter.  Are OpenBSD and FreeBSD different enough
that porting the driver would be difficult?

I looked for a mail archive for this list but couldn't find one.  If
there's one out there, please let me know so I can verify that my
questions have not already been answered before posting again.  Also,I'm
not currently subscribed to this mailing list, so please cc: me when
responding.

While I'm at it, can anyone give me a good argument for choosing
[Open|Free|Net]BSD over any of the others? I've never used any of them
but from my installation attempts Free goes down a easier than Open. 
However, the security saaviness of the Open guys is attractive. 

Many thanks for any answers.
