We have used HP NC%@#SFP and Chelsio N320E 10GBE NICs with FreeBSD 9.1, but not in HP computers. FreeBSD worked fine with both, and no additional software or drivers were required. I can't imagine that the motherboard brand would affect that. The Chelsio carded wouldn't PXE-boot unless we had a Chelsio brand DAC, which was hard to get (Chelsio didn't keep them in stock). Once booted, though, it ran fine. We could go 100 million packets without dropping one. These cards run too hot to touch unless specially cooled.
