I also wanted to buy PoE to run *BSD (except it was OpenBSD) and was dissapointed when asking about it. Basically, if you can spend money on PoE, just buy PC-Engines APU2, or ERL and some switch.

Although this boots and runs OK, the kernel doesn?t see the 3 LAN ports. I suspect they might be hanging off a second switch (chipset?) on the motherboard and the kernel doesn?t know about it or how to probe for it at boot time. > > FWIW Ubiquiti?s firmware is Linux.

The kernel ?sees? octe2 which presumably is the first of the LAN ethernet ports. But it fails to do anything with it. Maybe a device driver needs tweaked to recognise the slightly different chipset(s) for the PoE?
