Well, the driver is in the m0n0wall kernel. That post I mentioned is
a tad old, but that's still post 5.3-RELEASE and b7 is using "FreeBSD
5.3-RELEASE #0". If you don't mind possibly ending up with a NIC that
you can't use with m0n0wall right now, I say go for it. Hell it's
cheap, I'd take one for the team and give it a shot. :) Let us know
how it goes if you do!
