Why hasnt this stuff been merged to FreeBD yet? I think a lot of people are anxious to see support for this, as most current Intel based boards utilize this, and FreeBSD still has not support for it. The chipset has been out for a long time now. FreeBSD seems to be really lagging behind in hardware support lately.
