QLogic 8442 10GbE Converged Ethernet Adapter support
I'm putting together a hardware list for a SAN server, and I was looking at 10 GbE NICs when I found the QLogic 8442 at a very affordable price. However, when I look at the FreeBSD compatibility list, only QLogic NetXtreme adapters are listed (which seem to be Broadcom based), so I was wondering if anyone has tried the QLogic 8400 series (or 3400 series) with FreeBSD/NAS4Free?

I just tried the QLogic SANblade QLE4060C - iSCSI Host Bus Network Adapter Gigabit.
Nothing doing.

By "nothing doing", do you mean it didn't work?
It wasn't picked up by FreeBSD as an HBA? It seems this model wouldn't expose itself as a NIC, but knowing that QLogic isn't supported on the HBA side is valuable as well, if that's what you mean.
