I'm very strongly considering installing FreeBSD on my system in place of
Linux if support for the ncr53c810 scsi chip and the lance pci chip 
(a la my cheapo boca) is not horribly broken.. does the driver for the
810 support disconnection?  How would you rate FreeBSD support for these
2 vs Linux support for them?
 
The motherboard is an Asus sp3g, with the onboard 810.. any caveats with this
motherboard?

TIA,
Craig.
