FWIW, Adaptec does have FC cards, see: http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/product/proddetail.html?prodkey=AFC-9110G&cat=%2fTechnology%2fFibre+Channel%2fFibre+Channel+Adapters Basically it's a Tachyon-based board. 2Gbit FC is in the works: http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/company/pressrelease.html?pressCat=%2fTechnology%2fFibre+Channel&prodkey=11132000 There is a Linux driver in the works for those boards, I don't know whether a FreeBSD driver will happen for them.
