The onboard Ethernet port (chipset 8111C) will not work with 7.0. The updated driver is in 7.1. Everything works great, except this mobo has a software RAID driver, which FreeBSD does not support. So, you would have to do standalone disks or some other kind of volume management, like vinum, I suppose. All in all, it's very fast and easy to use. I just regret that it doesn't natively support hardware RAID. I splurged and got a RocketRAID 3120 card, but I'm currently struggling in that regard to get it to boot after the installation.
