I was able to update from FreeBSD 6.2 to 6.3 then 7.0 BETA2 and now I'm trying to get RC1.

So far my AWLH6080 is not working. I'm guessing it's supposed to be "ral" rather than "ath" like my 802.11g AWLH4130. I tried to run with both cards installed on my miniATX ASUS K8N-VM but that caused hard hangs.

I'm interested in picking up a 500GB drive and the ebox-3853 and building a FreeNAS box with the slimdevices extention.

Looks like I made it to RC1 in a strange round about way
