What's missing is a FreeBSD driver for it. If anyone is interested, there is a Linux driver for the ThunderLan chip (see ftp://ftp.caldera.com/pub/stuff/tlan-0.30.tar.gz - or maybe a later version by now) that we are using here on some Linux boxes here. I don't know how difficult it would be to port. If I do wind up with a 6000, I'll wind up porting or writing a driver (but I'd prefer not to have to do all the work and am hoping to get alternative hardware).
