Yeah good luck. I had them telling me "we don't support FreeBSD" four or five times around and when I pointed out (loudly) that page xx of the manual lists FreeBSD, as does the box, they sent me a kernel driver for 4.2 or so, which didn't work. I will never buy a product from Rainbow again: I literally had to scream at them on the phone before they would cough up anything. I would return the card if I were you, considering you spent $1.5K on a card and getting tech support that operates on a "need-to-know" basis.
