I bought a telenet (www.tesys.com, I think) 1U machine. They were at
FreeBSDcon and I got to check one of them out there. Cool stuff, haven't
had any problems.  

However the guy at the booth said the onboard ethernet was Intel 
EtherExpress (which was funny, because David Greenman was sitting right
across from them and they had no idea who he was.) and when it came it was a: 

rl0: <RealTek 8139 10/100BaseTX> irq 11 at device 9.0 on pci0.

This is bad, if you read if_rl.c, you'll see why.
