There is support for the N2 and N2pci cards in FreeBSD-current and 2.2. I have commited a driver a few weeks ago. The N2d I don't know about. I think it is a card with a builtin NTU. Here in South Africa we have to use the Telkom supplied NTU's so I didn't add support for it. There is also a driver for the ISA Digi/Arnet SYNC570i cards. Look at www.dgii.com for them.
