I hope this hasn't been asked before. I want to find small motherboard (266-500Mhz) that has three embedded NIC's, a serial interface (or embedded VGA), support for Flash DOM and at least 32MB of onboard RAM, and most importantly that will run FreeBSD. What I've currently been looking at is the AR-B1550 on micropower.nl (unfortunately with no serial ports or VGA), but is basically exactly what we want. An updated version is at: http://www.acrosser.com/products/ar-b1550.htm This is exactly what we want and is the perfect size. Unfortunately whether or not FreeBSD is compatible with this is another question. I wonder if anyone has any experience with these boards, or if anyone has any alternative suggestions for motherboards which fit my criteria above. Basically what I'm trying to build is an embedded firewall solution and FreeBSD with ipfw/ipf is perfect for my needs. I'd prefer not to have to down the Linux route, but I need guarantees I can get FreeBSD working on these, or another alternative.
