I've been using one and have had mild problems - but I am currently suspecting the motherboard rather than the BocaBoard (every few weeks FreeBSD stops "seeing" interrupts from the board, fascinating, there's now a probe on the interrupt line so we can determine the hardware reality, but I suspect it will look just fine... and I'm using similar multiport hardware elsewhere, so I doubt it's FreeBSD... and that motherboard is a bit strange). Anyways, even in my case, it works GREAT 98% of the time :-) Other than the $^*@^@#^%$@ 10-pin RJ45-ish connectors which are a real pain (I like to make my own cables). Highly recommended piece of inexpensive hardware. ...
