The question is if you can get a shell before you need network
access (should be possible by means of the fixit floppy or live
CD).  There's some (kind of) dirty hack in PR misc/25147 to make
the FA410 (and D-Link DFE650, it's what I tested it with) work in
a -STABLE system.  It's based on the fa_select code referenced in
some DaemonNews article.  I understand that Warner's latest
commits to -CURRENT is different from the fa_select tool (or vice
versa).
