Hello,

I am the happy owner of a FitPC2i which (as far as I know) is
identical to the FitPC2 with an extra ethernet nic, and a WLAN nic.

I haven't had any problems with the nics, but I am running an older
version of FreeBSD which may explain the difference:
[tykling at fitfw ~]$ uname -rmsi
FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE-201010 i386 GENERIC

This is the verbose dmesg messages for re0 and re1 on my machine:

I am very happy with the machine, except for an acpi problem
which makes it hang at reboot. shutdown -p turns the machine
off as expected, but shutdown -r hangs right after "Stopping
other CPUs..." when it should reboot. I reported this to acpi@
but never found a solution. I use it as home firewall, so I
practically never reboot it, so I learned to live with it :)

Good luck with getting your problem solved!

Best regards
