Sure, should work; I have had one working under FreeBSD.  There are two
versions of the 346, as I recall.  One is physically larger and one is
smaller.  You will probably need to download an updated de driver from
http://www.3am-software.com/ to make it work properly.

The first one we got had the odd property of slow receives (or was it
transmits?  one of the two) on _one_ of the ports.  Nope, no IRQ
conflicts.  Znyx ended up shipping us a new card and it fixed the problem.
