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,
