Just an warning though, the VIA Rhine-II NIC chipsett drivers on the
Epia for Fbsd is not quite perfect, or the rhine NIC onboard is not 
"high quality". If it's put under som high load (full duplex 100 mbit)
you can get an nasty bug in Fbsd with the console msg 
'vr0: Watchdog timeout' and the NIC freezes for some time.

In fact, I'm reading the gnats database now to see if it has been
submitted before and if so whats the status.
