Hi, We'are using an x2100m2 with FreeBSD6.2. On the ethernet side, the x2100m2 has two bge iface. On the original x2100 the bge iface works fine for me. On the M2 x2100 try ONLY FreeBSD 6.2, because 6.1 will be terribly slow. The x2100m2 has two sata2 disk bays, where you can insert almost any normal sata2 hdd-s. I had very big problems, with the orig x2100 satahalfhwraid on freebsd, i suggest you shoud avoid that. The hdd-s work fine without the hwraid (ataraid) and gmirror does the job nicely.
