The FreeBSD-10.1-STABLE-arm-armv6-RPI-B-20150217-r278906.img boots the 
B+ but does not enable power to the USB (and therefore) LAN ports. No 
HDMI video output unless forcing it with an entry in config.txt.

The FreeBSD-11.0-CURRENT-arm-armv6-RPI-B-20150217-r278908.img boots the 
B+ and mostly works except for:

1) The files rpi.dts (r276161) and bcm2835.dtsi (r278915) have not yet 
been updated for the Raspberry Pi Model B+ GPIO pin mappings which are 
different to the A and B models.

2) My EDUP "nano" wireless dongle (urtwn0 - Realtek RTL8188CUS) can 
receive at 220KB/s with no issues, but when transmitting more than a few 
KB nonstop it dies and needs restarting.
