If we do that, we'll avoid un-supporting people that were able to use FreeBSD before. There may be a couple of crufty old cards (Seagate ST01?) whose drivers won't get ported to CAM, but most everything else should. As for a real ETA, that's difficult to say. The good news is that Justin's documentation is coming along nicely, so the folks that have been waiting on documentation to continue with writing hardware drivers won't have to wait much longer.
