I'm not sure just how _good_ the support is, but since nobody else has mentioned it, it might be worth taking a look at some of the MIPS boards, such as the RouterStation Pro (http://www.ubnt.com/rspro) or MikroTik RB433AH (http://routerboard.com/RB433AH). They both have three MiniPCI slots and the former already has a kernel config in sys/mips/conf... cheers, Steven
