I dont think there is a driver for the voodoo 5 out yet in XFree86, which means that neither linux nor FreeBSD will work in an manner that is normally acceptable (ie 24/32 bit color and a decent resolution). I think right now the card that works the best is the Intel Pro 10/100B/100+ Ethernet or any intel based card (I'm not sure if just ANY intel card will work, but I'm using one here and it works great) I also have a Kingston KNE100TX on my home computer that works great (it uses the de0 driver, the intel uses the fxp0 driver).
