aye, 

If its the b100s that slot into a b1600 chassis FreeBSD doesn't
currently work with the cassini nics that are in the chassis.... yet 

I am in the process of working with openbsd developers to try and port
theirs over.  Unfortunately work is getting in the way, our product is
being released to the public shortly and its all hands to the pumps.
